CFS5 Kicks DWMX ass anytime. It is faster and more stable. I don't care what hardware you are on - the bottom line is that CFS5 is faster than DWMX on any hardware. Plus the layout of the program as well as ease of use is much better. Sometimes making the user responsible for more things is better

Um.  Use append if you want to add to the very end. Since you are apparently editing HTML, you'll probably need to read the file into a variable, stick the URL in the right place, and write the file back out.  Both file actions use CFFILE. Raymond Camden wrote: > Yes, just use cffile. If you a

Yes, just use cffile. If you are adding a text line, then you would use the append action for cffile. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Well, you do know that HS+ 5.2 _is_ Studio, right? By "not as good" do you mean more bugs? I believe 5.2 had the infamous UI/no custimizing thing, but that is no longer true of 5.5. 5.5 is NOT bug free (but what is) but is certainly better than CFS5. Tremendously better...
