RE: Escaping #
All forms are in the form scope... It's always a good idea to scope your variables for security reasons. It ensures that you know exactly where the data is coming from and not potentially from a misnamed variable that is higher up in the scope order of precendence...

Those structures are always defined. Just use the one that happens to contain your variables. If you submit a form, variables from that form are in the Form scope. If you have variables retrieved from a URL, they're URL variables. Etc, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349722 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Escaping #
A variable will *always* live in a scope. If you POST a form to your server, the form's inputs will be available in the FORM scope. If you send the form using GET or if you hit a page with URL parameters (in effect the same thing), the form inputs / url parameters will be available in the URL scope. Now, the fun part. If you don't specify a scope when addressing variables, ColdFusion will search all the scopes until it finds your variable. Addressing variables without scope can lead to unexpected behaviour should you have the same variable name in different scopes. This seems to explain it well: http://www.garyrgilbert.com/tutorials/coldfusion/beginner/scope.cfm In short though, it is good practice to always declare the scope of your variables when accessing them. You should never need to use Eval() in this situation.

Re: Escaping #
Hi Dave
What you had suggested didn't work as I hadn't scoped the variables so I got a
not defined error message when I tried
#variables["namefirst" & i]#
I tried #["namefirst" & i]#
but that didn't work.

That will work as well, but in general it's more expensive to use
evaluate (which has to do more work under the covers, to convert an
arbitrary string to executable code) than the solution I proposed,
which looks for a key within a structure.

The value comes from the form itself.

Hmmm, in that case I'd probably replace out any JS ones first, then run the above, then swap back in the JS ones.

I just did a test in my local install of CF7, and the ` syntax worked fine (with both the Access driver and the ODBC Socket). Are you sure that you are working with a table here? Looking back at your previous message, the error "Undefined function 'FormatNumber' in expression." seems more like something you would see from a query. I'm betting that this is a query that has a field using the vba formatnumber function. That function is available to Access, but it doesn't seem to be available through ODBC or JDBC. I just tested this by creating a view that uses the FormatNumber function, and sure enough, I get that error when I try to pull data through CF. ~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254326 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Not real familiar with access, and not sure if access has the "ESCAPE"
function or if the escape function will work on table names.

Are you trying to replace "#" with "##"? If so, you might need to replace "##" with "". Maybe a code sample of what you're attempting will help. Is the CSS embedded or inline?

Re: Escaping for javascript
Yes and no... I would assume that if you said, to pass a string to a js function, that you would mean the entire string, regardless of what the string contains. The fact that it might not be used very often is irrespective of the context of jsstringformat() being to format a string, regardless of what the string contains... If a bug is encountered rarely that doesn't change the condition, except perhaps in the most existential sense... I don't work with CORBA therefore CORBA bugs are not bugs _to_me_. :) The ability to safely (key word) pass a string to a javascript literal value isn't given by jsstringformat() alone. It succeeds in most but not all cases, hence the bug. In particular this is an issue if you create generic UDFs or Custom Tags intended for general consumption by other developers and which are expected to receive unknown variables which would then be placed in javascript string arguments. If the tag uses jsstringformat() to populate the title of an article and a user enters "the Perils of web programming" (a cute title for a technical article), the expected behavior of the tag (populating the title) will be replaced with a javascript error on the page. Personally I'd call that a bug. That being said, I still occasionally use jsstringformat() unmodified when I expect that a variable might contain a \ but don't ever expect it to contain , for isntance when escaping a file path. > i don't think i'd see that as a bug...i think the function > exists to > safely format content being passed to a JS function. > this, it does. > i'm sure i'll be corrected if i'm wrong...but i don't > think > '' as a string is often passed as an argument to > a function. > I would say that escaping that string would be beyond the > defined > scope of the jsStringFormat() function, and therefore not > in and of > itself, a bug. s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477&DE=1 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569&DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Escaping for javascript
i don't think i'd see that as a bug...i think the function exists to
safely format content being passed to a JS function. this, it does.
i'm sure i'll be corrected if i'm wrong...but i don't think
'' as a string is often passed as an argument to a function.
I would say that escaping that string would be beyond the defined
scope of the jsStringFormat() function, and therefore not in and of
itself, a bug.

Mark, Don't quote me on this, you'll have to double check, but in reference to item 'a' of your list I think I remember seeing a UDF function library at cflib.org for handling CSV files. If that wasn't it then I may have seen a CFC somewhere (cfczone.org maybe). There are resources out there...

Re: escaping " character
A simple solution would be to see if your data supplier can use a different delimiter. Instead of a comma, if they can use a '|' (pipe symbol found to left of 'Z' on keyboard) or a ~ (tilda) character then these tend not to crop up in 'ordinary text'. You could 'parse' the data yourself. That is look for the text qualified " using the find function, mark this character position as the start of a text field and look for the closing ", mark this as the end, now for the characters within this region strip out any delimiter characters. Repeat for rest of string. - Original Message - From: Brant Winter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 6 Sep 2004 19:31:09 +1000 Subject: RE: escaping " character To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It will be a regular transfer, almost on a daily basis.

Pascal made a minor typo. "A query object in cf is what you would get as a result from a cfquery." should read " A query object in cf is what you would get as a result from a cfhttp." CFFILE will read your file into a variable in one big block. If you use CFHTTP to read your file in, it is possible to put your CSV data straight into a cfquery object. You can then loop through your query object and insert the data into the database. You should find this easier than trying to parse your CSV file manually. Have a read up on CFHTTP and you should see what Pascal is trying to say to you. Stephen [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Your problem is with how cf treats lists. The delimiter can't be present
in a value, or it will be treated as separate elements. You will need to
use a proper csv parser that allows a text qualifier ("). Have you
considered CFHTTP to read the csv into a query object? In a recent
tread, someone suggested a Java csv parser, but I don't remember which
one.

RE: escaping " character
The cffile just reads the file, it doesn't parse anything. A text qualifier is a character you place around text in a csv (usually "). When you have a comma in the text (surrounded by quotes), it means it is just a comma, not a delimiter. A,B,C,D ==> 4 elements A B C D A,"B,C",D ==> 3 elements A B,C D A query object in cf is what you would get as a result from a cfquery.

RE: escaping " character
Actually - I have just found the issue. I am using the listfix udf :- http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm/listfix The problem is that, the string I was trying to insert actually has a single comma in the csv file:- BLEOMYCIN (BL) INJ 15,000 i.u. Is there anyway to exclude listfix from picking this up as a separate field ?? My code is: variable="csvData"> Should I be using the commented code instead Thanks again The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: escaping apostrphee in a select statement
>>Incorrect syntax near 's'. This is weird, normally the escape function escapes characters as hexadecimals, not in HTML code. You should have get %27s%27 here. Are you sure your _javascript_ code does not redefine the escape function for something to escape characters as HTML codes? -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: escaping apostrphee in a select statement
Your original post wasn't very informative was it? It looks like you have -- page one - var myText = "Show's some example code please"; window.location.href = ''#URL.text#') I'm guessing here... but you then get the error message that you have quoted cos the apostrophe is in the (escaped) _javascript_ url Here's what _javascript_ escape does ... http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/escape.html And you will probably find URLDecode or something or other a help If you gave us the actual code we could help further. as Micha was trying to. Well I better get back to my own work. -- dc [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]
