Javascript RegEx: find GUID in an URL and replace it

I have URLs like this:

http://some.bunch.of.subdomains.hostname.tld/somepath/deeper/GUID/foo/bar/candy

GUID is the ID I need to find and replace.

The GUID is stripped, no dashes, exactly 32 characters, lowercase a-f, 0-9. Like this:

961b7d0e50f0462a8828c31bf0874a71

After I find it, I will replace it like this:

document.URL.replace(/regexp goes here/, 'newGUID');

You could try something like:

str.replace(/\b[a-f\d]{32}\b/, 'newGUID');
