Re: Highlighting non-standard ASCII characters?
Bobby, Thank you! This works great! MarieT Something like this? rereplace(str, '([^A-Za-z0-9_\r\s\n!\.\?''\(\),;:])', 'span class=highlight\1/span', 'all') If you donât mind characters like ñ, then just use \w instead of A-Za-z0-9_ rereplace(str, '([^\w\r\s\n!\.\?''\(\),;:])', 'span class=highlight\1/span', 'all') .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Re: Highlighting non-standard ASCII characters?
Hmmm, although it works that code is not quite correct - there's a few issues with it. If you don?t mind characters like ñ, then just use \w instead of A-Za-z0-9_ This is *incorrect* - in ColdFusion regex, \w does NOT include accented characters. There are other regex engines where it does, but the Apache ORO used by CF doesn't. (Unless that's changed with CF9 anyhow, but I suspect not..) There are several unnecessary escapes since .?() do not need escaping inside classes. (However, if '-' wants to be included (it's not currently) then it should be escaped as '\-' so it's not treated as a range.) By including \s you're not just saying space, you're *also* including \r and \n and \t and \v. So either just use a literal space (to avoid tabs) or to allow tabs don't specify the \r and \n since they're just adding noise. [^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:] or [^\w\s!.?''(),;:] Outside of the character class, the outer group is redundant - regex already captures the match to \0 so just do: rereplace( str , '[^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:]' , 'span class=highlight\0/span' , 'all' ) And finally, one more optimisation - to avoid a long series of HTML spans, just add a + to collect multiple characters together: rereplace( str , '[^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:]+' , 'span class=highlight\0/span' , 'all' ) Hope this helps. :) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337854 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: Smartertools (was Looking for the right SMTP server)
My argument was over a reseller account I was dealing with Jeffrey J. Hardy, Vice President of Business Operations He was Argumentative, insulting, accused me of fraudulent activity and criminal intent and told blatant lies to myself and the other party involved trying to play us off against each other. Now I tend to give as good as I get SO I then of course said I no longer wanted anything more to do with Smartertools or their products, which is a shame as I think their products are good. Obviously I never expected to hear anything more on the subject, but have since heard from colleagues and other partners that they have had problems with Smartertools refusing to do business with them simply because they were associated with my company in some way. So don't upset Jeff hardy or he will go after your friends, your family and anyone that knows you LOL Russ -Original Message- From: Al Musella, DPM [mailto:muse...@virtualtrials.com] Sent: 05 October 2010 02:36 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Looking for the right SMTP server I am glad you said that.

Image button in a cfwindow doesn't pass coordinates
Normally when you click on an image button inside a CFFORM, the coordinates are
passed to the form processor. This is a simple way to support multiple buttons
from a single form because you can use the presence of a coordinate to tell you
which button was pressed.
I couldn't figure out why this wasn't working inside a CFWINDOW and eventually
I stripped out all the extraneous code until I discovered that when the CFFORM
is inside a CFWINDOW, it no longer passes the coordinates. Is that documented?
Can anyone comment on that situation?
If anyone wants to play around with it, my test program is in 2 pieces below,

FORM fields.

Yes, the second icon from the left in the Actions column of the Scheduled Tasks page in CF Admin shows as a green light document, with the title (tool tip) of Resume Scheduled Task for every task. These tasks are definitely PAUSED. Yet the Last Run is continually updating with a new date/time at every interval specified by the task settings.

RE: CF9 Paused Scheduled Tasks Still Running
I'm not totally sure, but I do notice that when I restart my CF server, there is an entry for the scheduled task in the log stating that it is paused. Could it be that that date updates every time the CF Server tries to run (on its scheduled time) but doesn't actually run it. Or maybe instead of trying to run it, every time it checks the jobs to see if they are runnable it updates. Again, I have no idea, just some possible suggestions.

Re: Beta Testers Wanted - TrafficMunkey - A New CF Framework
Pete, Kudos for sharing your framework with the wider community, but I think your SLA and NDA are going to negatively impact it's adoption and growth. I've unfortunately become quite apt at reading agreements like these and a few items have jumped out at me. 2.1 Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a nonexclusive, nontransferable and non-perpetual limited license to use the Software within its own facilities and as part of Licensee's own business, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This license shall commence on the latest date of the execution of this Agreement. The *non-perpetual* part raises a red flag. You are saying that the Licensee is free to build software that includes TraffiMunkey, but at any time that right might expire. Obviously, that's pretty scary to anyone who would want to deploy this software for more than 1 year (the term of the SLA). *2.2 Primary Copy of Software.* This license allows the Software to be installed on any number of computers/servers and at any locations administered by the Licensee, provided that the provisions in Section 4 regarding confidentiality are fully enforced. Licensee may temporarily transfer the Software to back-up computer equipment if the original computer equipment is inoperative. Here you prevent a developer from distributing an application that include TrafficMunkey. For example, if I was to build a blogging application, I wouldn't be able to distribute it to end users (since it would be deployed to locations not administered by the Licensee). Beyond COTS software, this also prevents any application that include TrafficMunkey from being stored on RIAForge, GitHub or any other publicly accessible repository. 3.4 Licensee shall not comingle the Software with any in-house or third party open source software on Licensee's system and/or server. Licensee must restrict all adaptations within their environment to the designated adaptation points. This one is a bit confusing and I'm surprised a lawyer used the word co-mingle, because it's very vague (and missing a hyphen). This basically says, if there is a directory with TrafficMunkey code in it (C:\TrafficMunkey), you cannot put any other code in the same directory. Since the definition of co-mingle so vague, it could also mean that you couldn't store code at a higher-level (C:\). Who is to say that C:\TrafficMunkey and C:\ are not 'co-mingled'. Why explicitly call out open source software? Section 3.4 is nullified if the developer claims the code as proprietary or closed-source. 3.5 Licensee is put on notice that the Software includes embedded trade secrets owned by Licensor and that Paragraph 4.3 of this Agreement shall strictly apply at all times. Furthermore, Licensee must insure that the strict rules of Paragraph 4.3 of this Agreement shall apply in any of Licensee's relationships with third parties. I honestly don't think this can stand up in court. In my opinion something ceases to be a trade secret when it's openly shared. It's the defining difference between a patent and a trade secret. You patent an idea that you plan to share and protect, you don't share secrets. Any lawyer will tell you, don't put it into the agreement if you don't think you can defend it. 4 4. CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL I don't mean to be rude, but this entire section is really bizarre. Most developers, consultants and business do not employ security practices around software and documents. Asking people to stamp CDs, secure code and have their employees sign confidentiality agreements is too much. Furthermore, how do you plan to market and drive adoption for this framework if you prevent anyone from talking about it? This section excludes the possibility of user groups talks, conference sessions, and even a mailing list devoted to the framework. 5.1 Licensee shall pay to Licensor pursuant to the terms set forth in Schedule A of this Agreement for Licensee's right to use the Software, as consideration for this Agreement, and prior to Licensor's conveyance to Licensee of the right to use Licensor's Software. Schedule A says the software is offered free of charge, but 5.1 says the right to use the software requires the Licensor be paid. It's very confusing. As the language stands, it would seem that the framework is *not*free. I don't think that is what you intended. Schedule A: TrafficMunkey, which includes, among other components, SiteMunkey, PageMunkey, LinkMunkey, PiMunkey, and PiComponent, are offered free of charge. Licensee is allowed to make modifications to the Software for adaptation of the Software to its own environment. Section 3 of this Agreement provides the proper ways to effectuate this. However, Licensee is *absolutely prohibited* from distributing any changes and modifications it makes, except back to MillionMunkeys® LLC, whereupon MillionMunkeys® LLC will make the changes available to others. The last line is a big liability for you. If changes are submitted back to MillonMunkeys,

Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I have a cfc that gets instantiated and then stored in an array. I have a bunch
of different objects (arrays, queries, structures, etc) in the cfc which all
gets used but because of the way I am storing them, the methods can be called
and I want to prevent that.
So here is an example of my issue:
Animal.cfc
Cat.cfc extends Animal.cfc
Cat.cfc:
this.name=Kitty;
//instance vars go here
function init(id){
this.id=arguments.id
//setters go here
return this;
}
function meow(){
writeoutput(meow);
}
So now I am going to store the cats
catsArray = [];
for(i=1;i lte cats.recordcount;i++){
cat = createobject(component,cat.cfc).init(cats.id[i]);
//method to get structure here?
catsArray[i] = cat;
}
Now if you dump the array, you get all of the stuff in cat and animal but you
also get the methods to kill cat, feed cat and all. There must be a way to only
get the structure with members and not the option to call the cfc methods.

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
What you want is a serialized form of your CFC. You need to write a
method, perhaps called serialization, or maybe toStruct(), that
returns a struct containing the data you want.

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I was hoping to shortcut the process of resetting the 'this' scope to a different scope for the sake of saving time. So you're saying that the only way is to specifically call on the structure members? returnObject = StructNew(); returnObject.id = this.id; returnObject.name = this.name; return returnObject; There must be a better way than a new method than resetting the structure... perhaps using the variables scope instead of the this scope? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337879 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I don't think I am actually understanding the question at hand, but
hopefully this will at least help you out.
First of all, I would strongly discourage anyone from using the this scope
of the CFC. There are a variety of reasons for that recommendation, but
chief among them is the ability to access and change the instance data from
outside of the object.
Instead, you will want to use the variables scope, and have getX() and
setX() methods to access/change the instance data.
Now then, if you are wanting a struct representing the instance data, then
you would create a getMemento() method to return that, which would look
something like the following:
public struct function getMemento()
{
// duplicate it so the internal data cannot be changed outside of the
object
return duplicate(variables);
}
These are just general guidelines and may/should change based upon your
actual needs.

RE: Highlighting non-standard ASCII characters?
Much, much cleaner. (if it works) I always forget about not needing to
escape characters inside classes. Lately, I don't get as much regex exercise
as I used to.
As for the ñ, I thought it was odd since the docs say \w is the equivalent
of A-Za-z0-9_, yet when I use \w, it matched ñ where A-Za-z0-9_ obvsiouly
would not.
There is a definite difference between the two as far as accented characters
go.
I was on CF 8 when I briefly tested what I came up with. I just ran yours
through the same test with different results.
cfsavecontent variable=str
aóbcñ...@#$%^*()_+=-\][|}{';:/.?,`~
FG*!^$
/cfsavecontent
cfoutput#rereplace(str, '[^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:]+', 'span
class=highlight\0/span', 'all')#/cfoutput
This will not span the accesnted characters. Replacing \w with A-Za-z0-9_
will.
I think the best of both worlds would be [^A-Za-z0-9_\r \n!.?''(),;:]+
That is, assuming the OP wants to highlight the accented chars as well.
Thanks for the escape reminder and the the \0 tip.

Subject: Re: Highlighting non-standard ASCII characters?
Hmmm, although it works that code is not quite correct - there's a few
issues with it.
If you don?t mind characters like ñ, then just use \w instead of
A-Za-z0-9_
This is *incorrect* - in ColdFusion regex, \w does NOT include accented
characters. There are other regex engines where it does, but the Apache ORO
used by CF doesn't. (Unless that's changed with CF9 anyhow, but I suspect
not..)
There are several unnecessary escapes since .?() do not need escaping
inside classes.
(However, if '-' wants to be included (it's not currently) then it should be
escaped as '\-' so it's not treated as a range.)
By including \s you're not just saying space, you're *also* including \r and
\n and \t and \v. So either just use a literal space (to avoid tabs) or to
allow tabs don't specify the \r and \n since they're just adding noise.
[^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:] or [^\w\s!.?''(),;:]
Outside of the character class, the outer group is redundant - regex already
captures the match to \0 so just do:
rereplace( str , '[^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:]' , 'span
class=highlight\0/span' , 'all' )
And finally, one more optimisation - to avoid a long series of HTML spans,
just add a + to collect multiple characters together:
rereplace( str , '[^\w\r \n!.?''(),;:]+' , 'span
class=highlight\0/span' , 'all' )
Hope this helps. :)

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
How does composition over inheritance apply here?

True, they do but I saw the possibility that storing the cfc's method when I really only wanted the members could lead to problems. Maybe not. If someone here said that doing so was harmless, especially you or Ray I might chill out and take your advice. No far no one has said that its okay and nothing bad is going to happen.

If all you want is an array of structs, why not load your data into structs instead of using CFCs? I thought there might be a way without having to retype all of the items in the scope of that object to store them. There are work arounds I'm sure. Maybe I need to go back and learn some patterns that could automate this. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337890 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I guess I don't even understand why you'd think there would be a problem? Objects have methods. If you store objects, they still have methods. Why do you think this could be a problem? You haven't explained what you're trying to do and *why* you think having the methods callable is... anything other than expected behavior.

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Or, perhaps I should ask, what is the problem that you are trying to alleviate by hiding methods? If we know the answer to those questions, we can steer you in the right direction. Right now, though, we don't really have much to go on. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337892 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
