Remove Jrun Server Instance
Hi, I've removed a Jrun Server Instance by clicking on the Delete Icon in the Available Servers list under CF Admin-Enterprise Manager-Instance Manager for CF 9, but the c:\Jrun4\Servers\[instancename] folder is still on the C drive. Can I remove this folder? Also, are there any other manual steps that you would suggest when deleting a Jrun Server instance?

There may also be logfiles in c:\jrun4\logs and under c:\jrun4\runtime and there may be a Windows service you have to remove manually Jochem -- Jochem van Dieten http://jochem.vandieten.net/ ~| 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:360177 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: Get First Paragraph: Remove Empty Paragraphs
Matt, I tried your solutions and it works 100%, except when it's my variable from the form. It's a tiny MCE field and it seems it must be inserting some non-printable character. I changed the statement From this: #reReplaceNoCase(myString, 'p([\s]|\nbsp;)*/p', '', 'all' )# To This: #reReplaceNoCase(myString,'p([^\w*?])*/p','','all' )# This seems to be working. Can someone that knows regex better that I confirm the to this says:Strip from p to /p UNLESS it contains a letter or a number? I think that's what it says. Is that right?

Re: Get First Paragraph: Remove Empty Paragraphs
I don't recall the exact characters, but \w will include some other characters. Maybe this will also work for you? reReplaceNoCase( myString, 'p([\s]|\nbsp;|[^[:print]])*/p', '', 'all' ) I think that's more clear as to intent.

Re: Get First Paragraph: Remove Empty Paragraphs
Hmm. I just tried a couple of non-printable character insertions, and [^[:print]] does not catch them.

Regardless of skill level they can then maintain the app, because face to face communication works better than written documentation. That's great, but it's not a solution for everything. What happens when a consultancy develops and delivers an application to a customer, who will maintain it in the future? What happens to applications which just don't get that much maintenance? I was just contacted this week about an .NET assembly I'd built five years ago that interacts with Adobe Connect's API. I didn't remember whether it had the ability to change a user's password in an external system, because it wasn't part of the specification (and therefore wasn't part of the test). Turns out that the API call used to create a user also works to modify that users, so the user of the assembly can just use the same method call. You seem to be staking a lot on saying no one ever needs comments, anywhere, for any reason and I just don't see why that's the hill you want to die on. Comments are not the exclusive solution to writing maintainable code, no one's saying they are, but they do provide something very simple that TDD and pair programming do not - the ability to explain your intent to any future reader of that source code.

Note the me there. Cutter mentioned noobs, I mentioned ways that comments provide information that tests don't. Again, I specified two cases where tests and pair programming wouldn't solve problems I had, and comments could. These are actual cases from my own personal experience in the last couple of weeks. If I accepted your answers at face value, they would contradict my personal experience from these two cases. Look, I think that TDD is great. And I think that pair programming is great, although it's not an option for many work environments. Everybody should do these things if they can, and they will solve more problems than comments would. But you have said, basically, that there is NO POSSIBLE CASE where comments can solve a problem that TDD and pair programming can't, and I think that's going to contradict many people's experiences. That's a pretty absolutist position. Hell, I suspect that if I asked Kent Beck himself, he'd say there are still some cases where comments provide value that TDD doesn't.

Re: Remove all CF comments
I dont understand what's the problem with comments anyway.So what if we have comments peppered through the code?Do they slow down processing in any significant way?Yes, they cause the files to be somewhat larger, but if all that means is a bit more disk space gets used, so what?If they reduce maintenance cost because its quicker for other developers to maintain the code later on, that must surely more than offset any overhead due to the existence of comments. I get that the tests in TDD are a good way to see what's happening (or supposed to happen) in code. But whats the problem if there are comments in there too? (Assuming they're accurately reflecting what's going on in the code - if they're misleading because they reflect old or trial versions of the logic, that's bad but none of us is talking about that are we?) I just dont understand why this is even a discussion in the first place. As someone who often has to work on code that others have built before me (and normally aren't around to ask questions of) I can testify that comments make any program file MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to work on. As I said earlier in this thread, I once had to work on a 1500 line convoluted file, with nested cfif clientiD = peppered through it, just to change some text being displayed. It took me hours to find the exact line I had to correct because it wasnt every instance of the text in the file, but only one that had to be changed. It certainly didn't justify spending ages and ages looking through the whole logic of the application just to make a little tweak. A few comments here or there would have meant it cost the client a fraction of what I billed him for my time for that little job, then i could have got on to another much more important job he wanted done. You dont want comments in your code? I get that. Dont know why you dont, but I get it. But I'm a contractor who does a lot of temp work on existing code bases not written by me.I know I go a lot faster when I have comments I can read. Yes, I can read code, and I can write code. But the comments make it a LOT faster for me to work out what I'm working on and how to make the change I'm asked to do.

I will add my 2p that uncommented code drives me nuts. when you have to work on an app you have never seen before the lack of any useful comments usually results in it taking many x longer to figure stuff out and get up and running with the app. If you have a load a load of documentation and tests distributed with the app then than of course can help too, but this is usually not the cas ein my experience, any docs and tests are on someone else's computer somewhere and not distributed with the app at all.

Note the me there. Cutter mentioned noobs, I mentioned ways that comments provide information that tests don't. Again, I specified two cases where tests and pair programming wouldn't solve problems I had, and comments could. These are actual cases from my own personal experience in the last couple of weeks. If I accepted your answers at face value, they would contradict my personal experience from these two cases. Look, I think that TDD is great. And I think that pair programming is great, although it's not an option for many work environments. Everybody should do these things if they can, and they will solve more problems than comments would. But you have said, basically, that there is NO POSSIBLE CASE where comments can solve a problem that TDD and pair programming can't, and I think that's going to contradict many people's experiences. That's a pretty absolutist position. Hell, I suspect that if I asked Kent Beck himself, he'd say there are still some cases where comments provide value that TDD doesn't.

Re: Remove all CF comments
First to the original poster, there is a way to do this but I would be asking why you would want to first. With comments being used for annotated validation for hyrule, to annotated comments for ORM. If it is just to purely find code that has been commented out, and needs removing then a search and look method is perhaps the best option. Secondly to the argument of TDD and comments. Let me first clear up that TDD and BDD and tests in general, are there to code coverage our code. So that there is no unexpected problems in the future, TDD and BDD are primarily for input and output. That doesn't mean you can't comment on the tests to say what ever you like to say. But tests will not cover the likes of known bugs and work around's to achieve such results, Now I have comments that as stated above are for annotated validation for hyrule. And although they are tested through TDD, they are still comments. Secondly, I have rest / web services that describe what is being returned from third parties. These are not covered by tests and my part as it is not my code, but the comments make it very clear what is returned in the body of the function. In that example the calls to the rest and web services, are not affecting the final output of the result returned, where tests cover that. But it does let the developer know that while in there making changes they can see the expected results and any further outcomes to the code. Sorry but I am on the side that comments are a big and necessary thing, that even I will admit to not doing enough off, but required in more cases than not. TDD is not the place to dictate why something was written the way it was written, its job is to secure and pass on anything that is / might be passed into that is not expected and cope with a return result. How would these tests know why I wrote certain code the way that I did, because of trying to get around a known issue? Would I place that comment in the tests, no I would not, the comment is related to the way the function behaves and not if it passes or fails because someone wants to ignore the comments. -- Regards, Andrew Scott WebSite: http://www.andyscott.id.au/ Google+: http://plus.google.com/108193156965451149543 ~| 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:350184 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Remove all CF comments
Mike, some arguments are comments are: 1) Repeats what's already obvious. For example: !--- Loops over my crap --- cfloop index=x from=1 to=#arrayLen(crap)# 2) Easy to become outdated. For example, a comment that says something like, This hunts for bears using a shotgun whereas the code was modified to hunt for bears using blunt toothpicks. Maybe another developer made that change and simply didn't feel like updating the code. The book, Clean Code (http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Code-Handbook-Software-Craftsmanship/dp/0132350882), has a whole chapter on it. Now to be clear, I don't actually agree with all the points.

Re: Remove all CF comments
I have certainly seen my fair share of bad comments. commented out comments. blocks of code which have been commented out and disabled but the comments are still there for that disabled code and have not been updated. comments for code which no longer exists. but it all comes down to the same thing really, poor documentation and commenting, regardless of the end result. I tend to put very simple comments in code, for anything major or for apps that were likley to be maintained by someone else I wrote documentation and refer to that in the code using in page header comments.

I was using a Java API that let my app talk to the GSA, and that API can automatically make HTTP requests. Or, you can do that part yourself, using java.net or Apache HTTPClient or whatever. I chose to use Apache HTTPClient, although it wasn't actually needed by my app, because it would in the future allow me to do some additional things, like authentication handling or modifying the request URL. Now, I couldn't very well build those into my tests, but I thought it was worth commenting on for the people who'll maintain that code.

Quite, commenting on choices of approach can be hard/impossible to document through the names of tests.

Re: Remove all CF comments
The realistic problem that you'll find in this is nested comments. You can't just delete anything between !--- and --- as you don't know what is actually within that range. I use a regex that tests for how deep the comments in an application goes. Then I use another set to remove nested blocks from the most nested to the least. My preference for this is powergrep but you can use grepwin as well. I'll have to write up an article on the specific regex and its usage. It's not a simple one and needs explanation both in concept and execution. But this is not a single, simple, program approach which can be used without any oversight. It can be but I've never had to make it so and I don't know anyone who has.

Re: Remove all CF comments
C'mon, doods and doodettes. Will someone just step up and say it the way it really is? Bah, no one else will, so here goes. Anyone that puts comments in their code OR writes/generates/runs unit tests for their code is obviously a complete ID10T wannabe. Real programmers drink beer, watch star wars, and occasionally glance at the screen. Within hours (if not minutes), the project is done and it's off to the next one. If you're stuck in TDD or comment land, you suck. Programming is not for you.

Those using comments to plan code probably don't have any tests. Tests are essential to allow re-factoring with confidence; comments don't provide that benefit. This is not a religious belief, it's something that can be demonstrated the first time you want to maintain a 1500 line file and all you have are comments. In TDD, the test is written first. It expresses the design for the code to follow.

remove high ASCII chars from text
Is there a simple way to remove bad ascii chars form a textarea.
We are using TINYMEC as an html editor and it works great. the issue is when we
copy from MS Word we get back chars that will not render correctly in HTML.
We are using and have enhanced the UDF DeMoronize to pull bad chars but we also
want to just remove any char that is 225.
is there a way to do this other then doing a looP
for (i = 128; i LTE 160; i = i + 1)
{
Text = Replace(Text, Chr(i), , All);
}
We would want to strip anything greater then 225 and we do not want to run this
loop up to 3000 a large waste of processing to do this.
Open to any thoughts here.
Thanks in advance - the is always great.

CF9's cfmail remove attribute not working at Crystal Tech
I just spent an hour working with a tech at Crystal Tech diagnosing an email problem which ended up with me realizing that the very convenient remove attribute that is new to CF9's cfmail tag will not work in their environment. The reason for this is that they don't use CF's built-in mail client, instead handing off to SmarterMail. So although CF believes an email has left the spooler and its attachments can be deleted, SmarterMail will still come back for them but fail when it finds the attachments are gone. What do people recommend as a viable way to deal with this (I assume everyone had to deal with this anyway before CF9)? Is the answer to set up a scheduled task that cleans out some directory of email attachments at regular intervals? db ~| 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:344173 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: CF9's cfmail remove attribute not working at Crystal Tech
your host should actually be the ones cleaning up the temp folders not you :-) we run scheduled tasks to do things like this on all our servers 1. respool failed mail for 24 hours before deleting it 2. clean up all the coldfusion temp folders 3. delete old class files and reduce the memory usage. 4. delete old log files (not just CF) on top of these I actually review the CF logs and FusionReactor logs and inform customers of recurring problems so that they can fix them and improve the performanc eof their site.

mysite.com/sales/1/122.
The ideal situation is anything that ends in /122 (mysite.com/*/122/)

redirect to mysite.com/sales/1/122/.
So first, strip the query string, second if it's /122 go to

RewriteRule ^([^\/]*)/sales/([0-9]){1}/(122) mysite.com/sales/$2/$3/
Also, get the Regular Expressions Tester plugin for FireFox. It works
great!

The simple explanation of what I want is a url like :
mysite.com/sales/1/122/?key=valuekey2=value2 to redirect to just
mysite.com/sales/1/122.
The ideal situation is anything that ends in /122 (mysite.com/*/122/) to
redirect to mysite.com/sales/1/122/.
So first, strip the query string, second if it's /122 go to sales/1/122.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply! unfortunately I'm trying to do this in htaccess not cf. I know it's cf-talk and all, but I generally ask here even for some non-cf stuff since this list has some of the most intelligent peeps on the inter tubes.

RE: Remove html characters
I don't know if this will actually help you or not, But I figured it might
help someone someday. Lol
If your using MSSQL and pulling the data your looking to strip from a
database, than you can actually do this from a mssql user defined function.
-- FIRST, RUN THE CODE BELOW ONCE TO CREATE YOUR INITIAL FUNCTION
USE [yourDataBaseName] -- yourDataBaseName
GO
/** Strips html **/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[stripHTML]
(@HTMLText NVARCHAR(MAX))
RETURNS NVARCHAR(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @Start INT
DECLARE @End INT
DECLARE @Length INT
SET @Start = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText,CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End - @Start) + 1
WHILE @Start 0
AND @End 0
AND @Length 0
BEGIN
SET @HTMLText = STUFF(@HTMLText,@Start,@Length,'')
SET @Start = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText)
SET @End = CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText,CHARINDEX('',@HTMLText))
SET @Length = (@End - @Start) + 1
END
RETURN LTRIM(RTRIM(@HTMLText))
END
-- USAGE EXAMPLE
SELECT dbo.udf_StripHTML('pa href=Test/a/p') as noHtml
-- OR YOU COULD DO THIS
SELECT dbo.udf_StripHTML(table.column) noHTML
FROM table
I've found this very helpful. :)

I use this to create text part message from HTML.

I am having a senior moment and can't for the life of me figure this dumb thing out. I am trying to remove all extra spaces from a string but leave the single space there.

CF8 richtext cfextarea: remove styling from pasted txt?
I've put together a very simple html editor for a client using the cf8 richtext cftextarea but the problem I'm having is that whenever the users cut and pastes, the styling of their original data (most often from MS Word) is also pasted into the text area. Is there an easy way to automatically remove the styling from the pasted text? Thanks in advance. -Paul ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

And still maintain links, bold italics, etc? Paste from work function and check 'ignore font face definitions' and check 'remove styles definitions'.

You can add application.cfm or Application.cfc to the folder and cfabort any request. that will ensure that no cfm file is executed On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 11:21 AM, Philip Kaplan pkap...@gmail.com wrote: I'm allowing people to FTP-upload into one of my web server directories, but I don't want them to be able to upload and run cfm (or asp, etc) scripts.

That's a clever idea but I would preferably like to give users delete permission on that directory, in which case someone could just delete the application.cfm file.

Re: How do I remove execute permissions from a directory in IIS?
Phil- Your FTP folder should be below your web root - I believe anything in the web path will be served via the browser. I don't think you can turn off processing for a directory in the web path. If you are using the content of the FTP as web content, you can use an upload function through ColdFusion instead and allow only certain file types and extensions. /S On Thu, 20 Aug 2009 11:21:53 -0700, Philip Kaplan pkap...@gmail.com wrote: I'm allowing people to FTP-upload into one of my web server directories, but I don't want them to be able to upload and run cfm (or asp, etc) scripts.

Re: How do I remove execute permissions from a directory in IIS?
There are multiple ways you can do it depending on your setup. 1. Have your ftp folder below the web root 2. Add cfabort to a directory above the ftp folder in the web root so that it stops any processing on any sub folders. 3. uncheck all options (Read, Write etc) under Directory for that folder and set the execute permission to None On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 11:47 AM, Philip Kaplan pkap...@gmail.com wrote: That's a clever idea but I would preferably like to give users delete permission on that directory, in which case someone could just delete the application.cfm file.

You would have to set read but not execute in Windows Explorer or CACLS/XCACLS/whatever the new version of CACLS is. But the real answer is, as Ian indicated, don't let people upload files into a web directory. Even if you could disable them from running through CF, a user could upload a plain old HTML file with malicious JavaScript in it, and another user could conceivably run that.

Re: cferror remove frames
You can't remove the frames without a page referesh, but you should be able to pull them all to zero width/height with JS to give the appearance of a full page. However, I'd generally recommend redirecting to a dedicated error page rather than showing errors inline. If you do that, just throw some frames busting code at the top and you're set. cheers, barneyb -- Barney Boisvert bboisv...@gmail.com http://www.barneyb.com/ On Jul 21, 2009, at 7:00 AM, Mark McArthey wer...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello all!
