Re: cfcontent create file
You want cfsavecontent, not cfcontent.
Write the contents of the cfsavecontent variable into a file with cffile.

hi
we are using cfcontent and rich text to create a word doc as follows:
cfcontent
type=application/mswordcfoutput{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\deff0\stshfdbch0
etc.../cfoutput
however when we run the cfm page it brings up the download option, whereas we
want to create the file and store it on the server
can anyone help with this?
thanks
richard

RE: cfcontent create file
Richard,
You don't really need CFCONTENT (which actually sets up headers in the
browser). You are not trying to send your content to the output buffer of
IIS. Try cfsavecontent instead.
cfsavecontent variable=content
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\uc1\deff0=stshfdbch0 etc...
/cfsavecontent
cffile action=write output=#content# file=full file and path
name.rff/

RE: cfcontent create file
This should work for you:
cfsavecontent variable=myContent
This is the content that will go into my .doc file.
This is a test.
/cfsavecontent
cffile action=write
file=#Replace(ExpandPath('*.*'),'*.*','')#test.doc
output=#myContent#
Best regards,
Joshua Rowe

But a 'doc' file type is a binary file type is it not? In my experience
you can't just write simple text to a with a doc extension and get
anything useful. I could see this working with an plain text (.txt) or
rich text (.rtf) extension, but not a .doc extension.
To create binary .doc types I believe you need to use the Word com
object or the Java POI utilities do you not.

I could see this working with an plain text (.txt) or rich text (.rtf) extension, but not a .doc extension. you can test this easily. Put a .txt file on your desktop with some content in it, rename it to a .doc and open it. It works just fine, at least in Word 2007 it does. I could test Word 2000 at home.. Word does format detection to figure out what KIND of word doc it is. It'll realize that his file is an RTF document, and it'll realize that your plain text document (tested above) is a text document, and display it just fine. Same way you can write HTML tables to a file, save it with a .XLS extension, and have it open in Excel. Ri ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
