Nathan,
The variable is not in the file scope. You just call it as #message#.
The CFFILE scope is used when you do a CFFILE ACTION="upload". It returns a
list of parameters about the file.
The file scope has also been deprecated, you should use CFFILE. when the
situation calls for it.
Hope this helps

Subject: <cffile action="read"...>
Hi, Everyone,
I am having a problem with <cffile action="read"...> tag trying to read
a text file and display the file content. I basically copied the syntax
from CFML Language Reference book as follow:
<cffile action="read" file="c:\temp\myfile.txt" variable="message">
When I did <cfoutput>#file.message#</cfoutput>, I got
"Error resolving parameter FILE.MESSAGE
Before you can access any file status variables you must execute at
least one CFFILE tag."
I put <cffile...> and <cfoutput> in the same page. I thought I already
executed the tag. Does anyone have any idea? I am using CF 4.5.
Thanks.
