Variables and cffile

[Greg Creedon]

I have an application which, after doing the database insert, prepares a
microsoft rich text format document to send to the user and to be filed.
Using cffile, I'm able to read in my template document as a variable and
write it back out again.

<cffile action="READ" file="h:\contracts\template.rtf" variable="contract">

<CFFILE ACTION="Write"
    FILE="h:\contracts\documents\#newfilename#"
    OUTPUT="#contract#">

This works fine as advertised to a point... the variables aren't being
processed. If I take the text of the rtf template and physically place the
rtf within the cffile write tag, the variables are processed:

<CFFILE ACTION="Write"
    FILE="h:\contracts\documents\#newfilename#"
    OUTPUT="{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1
\deff0\deflang1033\deflangfe1033{\fonttbl{\f0\froman\fcharset0\fprq2{\*\pano

any ideas?
