URL Stop and then Redirect
Hi all, I am a little stuck on a little problem, and times like these are when there is an obvious solution from a non-interested party. I am writing a dirty import script to move thousands of items from one architecture to another. What I am doing is basically getting all the information from the old database and converting it to the new database (is not a one-to-one relationship) structure. I am just grabbing one item at a time and then redirecting back to the script. What I would like to do is stop and then redirect so I don't end up in an infinite loop, but the cflocation tag, doesn't really seem to behave quite the way I want. Is there another tag that would do what I am thinking or can someone think of an alternative? I have about 25k items to do, so I'd like to just start the script this afternoon and run it through the night tonight. Thanks for any suggestions! jc ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: URL Stop and then Redirect
Might it not be better to perform a query of your file system using cffile? Then you can loop over that and move things where they need to be. -Original Message- From: John Cox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 1:08 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: URL Stop and then Redirect Duh, nevermind;) Meta redirect works exactly as I want.

I wanted to make sure the page actually redirected to itself but passed different arguments so it would know which step it was performing Rick ~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
