RE: Making 2D array
there are a coupld of ways to do this. you have CFSET filearray = ArrayNew(1) CFLOOP List=#file_content# Index=rc Delimiters=#Chr(10)# CFSET rc = ArrayAppend(filearray, rc) /CFLOOP already. therefore, each element of filearray[] is a pipe delimited list over which you can iterate with another list loop. one of the problems with the acove code is that it will whack the value of RC each time through. maybe use a throwaway variable to hold the boolean result of arrayappend. therefore, you would have... CFSET filearray = ArrayNew(1) CFLOOP List=#file_content# Index=rc Delimiters=#Chr(10)# CFSET resultValue = ArrayAppend(filearray, rc) /CFLOOP then, replacing the inner set with another loop to break up each row of the file, the code becomes... CFSET filearray = ArrayNew(2) CFSET loopindex = 1 CFLOOP List=#file_content# Index=rc Delimiters=#Chr(10)# CFLOOP List=#rc# INDEX=innerRC DELIMITERS=| CFSET resultValue = ArrayAppend(filearray[loopindex], innerrc) /CFLOOP CFSET loopindex = loopindex + 1 /CFLOOP if you notice, i added an outer loop count to track where we were in the file (WRT rows). this should give you a two dimensional array. the length of the first array index is equal to the number of rows in the file. as a side note, because of the nature of list loops, any empty element in the file will fail this piece of code. CF treats multiple delimiters (in the inner loop's case, | symbols) as one delimiter (for some reason). chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Mike Kear [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 8:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Making 2D array Thanks.

RE: DTS from Store Procedure MSQL 7.0
actually, i started down that road. tried REMOTE. didn't know i had to

the fact that CF has to be logged on as admin instead of system is another
problem. the whole reason i'm trying to do this is for security purposes,

If your object is external to the Web server, use the CONTEXT=Remote
attribute of CFOBJECT as well as the CLSID (class ID) for the object in the
CLASS attribute, which looks like {----}
(your
object's CLSID won't be all zeroes, but it looks very similar). When using a
Remote context, the CLSID is used instead of the ProgID
(Object.Application)
and you must also specify a valid server that has the object loaded. The
server
can be an IP address of a UNC path. Keep in mind that the ColdFusion
services
must be logged in as Administrator, not LocalSystem (the default) for most
objects to work -- you change this in your services control panel.

RE: Benefits of CFSWITCH vs. CFSCRIPT with SWITCH
that's actually something they warn about in C courses. you must have a

*** Team Allaire ***
Miachael,
Go ahead and steal the code. But in what way is this a hack?
The part where you did a case with no content in it that 'slid' down to the
next case and used the same content. This isn't in any docs and probably
hasn't been thought of by many people.
switch ( foo ) {
case 1 :
case 2 : {
// code
break;
}
I do find your numbers interesting. I am a little disappointed at the
apparent performance hit one takes when using a cfscript switch/case
statement.
I know that MM people are on list and will probably look into it. I'll also
post it to the bug tracking for CF 5.

well, you can't techincally put bullets in there, but if you want to save the carriage returns that people use in your textarea, use the WRAP=HARD attribute in the textarea. when outputting, use ParagraphFormat() to do something about the CRs in the output. chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Heidi Belal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 5:52 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: textarea Hi all, I've got a form which has a text area for people to fill in.

that's incorrect, actually. it will catch them in the order defined. so if there is an ALL first, there will never be any other. basically, it starts at the first CATCH, compares exception types. if it is a match, that handler occurs, if not, it examines the next one in order, ad nauseum, until the last catch (which should probably be an ALL JIC) chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Bryan LaPlante [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 9:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CFTRY / CFCATCH questions There are no requirements on the order of cfcatch statements that I'm aware of. - Original Message - From: Jeffry Houser [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 6:45 PM Subject: CFTRY / CFCATCH questions I know that at least one CFCATCH must be put inside a CFTRY block.

Subject: How to Allow a "Doesn't Matter" Variable in a Search?
Friends: Can anyone help with this problem I'm stuck on? Not sure if this
is a simple one or not, but in any case I'll sure be delighted to get it
working.
This set of pages allows the user to search a set of records using 9 search
objects. Four of those are for searching yes/no (1/0) fields in the
Access2000 database.
For the four search fields which search yes/no columns, I want them to
choose either "This doesn't matter - don't include this in the search" OR
"Include only records with "yes" (1) in this column. They need to be able to
specify that they want to see only rental properties that have a hot tub, or
else that this doesn't matter to them.
Obviously this differs from offering the choice between "Include only
records with 'yes' in this column" and "Include only records with 'no' in
this column", which is *not* what I need to do here.
This could be done with checkboxes or a menu - but I can't figure out how to
allow that "This doesn't matter" search parameter.
Thanks very much in advance for your help!

technically, you can't do this. some other people have suggested solutions that will give you a close approximation of "the second row". the problem (there is no fault with the suggestions or code) is that the concept of "the second row" is not a constant. because of the way RDBMS systems work, there is no way to *guarantee*, *every single time* that the "second row" will be the "second row". the data "lives" out in database land, and is returned in sets. just because something is the second row one time you query for * from the DB, there is no hard and fast guarantee that it will be the second row the next time. this is especially true for SQL server and Oracle (IOW, the more "powerful" DBMSs.) chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Roadrunner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 9:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: newbie wants to access by rows and columns Yes, Lee I want to access fields by rows and columns.

This gets not only the tables and their data, but everything else as well. In addition, you can do a backup to file from one, then restore from file on the other. I've had better luck with that, with pre-SP versions of SQL 7. This is better than detaching and attaching, since you don't have to stop operation of the database on the source server, and you don't have problems with "phantom logins" that might exist in one server but not the other. (Although there is a way to address that, if necessary.)

John,
I'm not quite clear what your getting at do you mean that a reading
is taken every 15 minutes and you want to know the sum of the readings
at 00, 15,30, and 45 ? so that the readings from 2:15 are summed with
readings from 1:15 and 3:15 ?
Or are multiple readings being inserted every 15 minutes and you want
the sum of all the entries entered at 2:15 to be in one group and 2:30
in another and 3:15 into still another ?

My aim is to pick all records out of an access DB, by date range.
I'm using the following CF:
cfquery name="bulletins"
datasource="News"
SELECT * FROM Articles
where approved
and startdate #Now()# and
expirydate #Now()#
/cfquery
Turning on debug on the server shows this ends up as
SQL = SELECT * FROM Articles where approved and startdate {ts '2001-02-26
15:37:22'} and expirydate {ts '2001-02-26 15:37:22'}
Unsuprisingly, this returns no results (there is at least one record in the
intended range). Is my SQL off, or do I need to use a particular type of
date in access ?

By the way, you don't need to pass in your list of form fields, since
they
are globally available to the CFMODULE you are running.
I think you want to use the EVALUATE function like so:
CFLOOP collection="#form#" item="CurFormField"
CFSET MyFormField = Evaluate("form.#CurFieldField#")
/cfloop
However, if you do a list loop (which is slightly slower), then do this:
CFLOOP list="#MyList#" index="CurFormField"
CFSET MyFormField = Evaluate("form.#CurFieldField#")
/cfloop

RE: Dateformat behaviour
actually, it looks like DateFormat is helping you out by assuming that the
second date you supply is the "european" style of mm/dd/.

Subject: Dateformat behaviour
Have a strange behaviour of DateFormat() function. Look at the following
code and the results below. In my opinion CF could give me an error message
on the second line (invalid date) but certainly not invert the day and month
as it does!

The CF server software ran fine until we moved it to Win2K and added .asp pages to the server as part of our intranet (please don't ask why, but part of our intranet is written using CF technology and the other part in written using ASP technology, both running session variables). Here is the server's configuration: Win2K (no service pack) CF 4.5.1 SP1 Max 728 MB Paging File PIII 800 with 256 MB Ram Plenty of harddrive space No Active Directory Service on Win2K In addition to this, we access an Oracle database using native drivers for the CF pages and ADO for the ASP pages. There is also an additional website running on the server using an Access 97 database as the backend (the shopping cart application we are using is AbleCommerce). We haven't been able to pinpoint the source of the memory leak. We don't know if it has to do with AbleCommerce and Access 97, the .asp or .cfm connections to the Oracle database, or simply some other memory leak problem between Win2K and CF. If anyone has any experience or practical suggestions on how to fix the low memory error, your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. As it stands right now, we end up having to reboot our Web Server every Monday morning to avoid the low memory error which eventually shuts down the server if it is not caught in time.

the entire point of that thread was that there was not a way in CF to do that. chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Roger Lim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 9:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Check filesize BEFORE uploading Hi, I read a mail regarding the subject which said : "ColdFusion has no way of knowing what the file size is BEFORE it reaches the server. The way i've done it is allow the full file to be uploaded, check the file size (CFFILE) and then delete it. Of course, the system will warn the user that the file they uploaded was too big AFTER CF has checked it. It's not a pretty solution, but it's the only one that semi-accomplishes the task." So, is there any way that we can check the filesize BEFORE the file is being uploaded? Please advice, thanks! Roger ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Dumb Questions :: About Verity :: Intranets
verity can index queries. look up CFINDEX in the docs. chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 8:25 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Dumb Questions :: About Verity :: Intranets Hello All! this is going to sound dumb. My manager wants only one interface for our search form on our intranet. right now i have tons of separate little DB apps that do the usual. each one has its own search interface, to search its own DB. i mentioned verity to him before i knew what it was, now he want's it in one little tight search form. correct me if i am wrong, but verity will only search text based doc's exct.. not database's? so how would *You* start to tie in 12-20 DB apps all the normal text doc's into one thing. the problem i see is to keep the content relative to the pages it was created for. so how? where to start? thanks for your time... -paul Web Developer, NBBJ Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 614 241-3534 fax:614 485-5534 Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 614 449-1681 icq: 47658358 ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Driving Me Nuts
actually, it will default to ascending. you don't need to specify. chris olive, cio cresco technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crescotech.com -Original Message- From: Stuart Duncan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 1:53 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Driving Me Nuts You have to specify the sort order.
