I didn't do this, but someone I used to work with did. Back in the CF4.5 days, before CF managed the size of its log files itself, you could see a performance hit if the file got overly large. So, we needed something that would rename any log file that got over a certain size and let CF start building a new one. We figured 1 MB was about right.
His solution? Use CFFILE to read the file into a variable. Then check the Len() of the variable and, if it was over 1000000, write the contents of the variable to a new file, then delete the original. It was run by the scheduler, so we didn't initially note how long it took to run. Other people I worked with had a tenuous grasp of basic CF concepts. One of my favorite code snippets was: <cfif Len(form.myVariable) GT 0> <cfset myVariable=form.myVariable> <cfelse> <cfset myVariable=""> </cfif> Of course, my most recent bonehead move was to write a UDF to count the number of times a particular value appeared in a list. What's that you say? There's a function called ListValueCount()? On Apr 1, 2005 10:43 AM, Claremont, Timothy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This morning all he!!
