I was suggesting using an array of arguments because there is a remote possibility that CF did not parse the argument string properly. As I mentioned before, CF parses the string into tokens using spaces and quotes as delimiters. I believe there is an issue in CFMX right now where a quoted substring, for example, inside an argument string isn't being parsed correctly, and the result is that the executable doesn't receive the args as they were intended. You weren't using quoted substrings at first, so that example may not apply, but the point is that if the executable was complaining about syntax. The fact that the executable complained means that a) you were in fact running it so there's no permissions issues with calling cfexecute in the first place, and b) the executable didn't understand the sequence of arguments. Passing the args as an array provides more control over how the executable receives them because you eliminate the algorithm that cf uses to parse the string. Creating a batch file to run probably works based on the same principle... the arguments are hard coded into a batch file and cf just executes the bat file without passing any args to the bat, and this again circumvents having cf parse an argument string into tokens.
I'll try to find an example of the known issue I was thinking of and post it here later... -----Original Message----- From: Jillian Carroll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 7:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: cfexecute erroring I've fixed my problem... but I'm not sure why I had to do this workaround.
