Re: [CFCDev] expandpath

In that case you'd have to specify the full absolute path, which is what 
I had been doing.

It works on *nix, but not Windows.

I'm a little perplexed about expandpath.  I have a CF mapping to a
folder outside of my webroot.  I tried using expandpath("/[CF MAPPING
NAME]") thinking it would resolve to the path entered for mapping in
       

CF
     

Admin.  It returns the webrootpath/[CF MAPPING Name].

CF Mapping:
/MYSQL    C:\_Components\MYSQL

ExpandPath() Returns:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MYSQL

Expected:
C:\_Components\MYSQL

If expandpath only works against webroot, then what's the point of
having CF Mapping (I know it is used for cfmodules, cfincludes,...)?
       

Is
     

there a way to retrieve the path the mapping represents?

Thanks - Tom
