be able to call some kind of other application to do the writing, but CF
can't do it itself. You may want to seriously consider something else.
While it is nice to stay within a single language, it seems like writing
a web application for a peripheral such as a card reader would waste
time more than anything else. Just my opinion, but it makes sense in my
head.
That's not to say that it's not possible, because in one way you're
correct that CF can do darn near anything by calling another program or
something. As always though, not everything that's possible should be
done.

Subject: Write to a magnetic stripe card
Hello All,
Has anyone send code to a Magnetic Stripe Card Writer? I need to be able
to encode Magnetic Stripe Cards with information that I will read later.
I can read the card using a Wedge or USB reader because it act like a
keyboard, but I need to write to the card also. Is there a ColdFusion
answer to this question? I hope so, I have been known to say ColdFusion
can do anything. Now help me prove I am right ;)
I am looking at a card reader/writer from Meg-Tek that connects to a PC
with an RS-232 port (serial port) or USB port.
TIA!!
