If I'm pulling stuff back from COM objects (in particular one that interrogates IIS for all it's sites) I use the WDDX API and serialize my own WDDX object in VB by populating it with all the known values, arrays etc.
You can then dump that in CF after doing a CFDDX to convert it back.. I'd be interested in helping you as I'm a keen HL and C/S player.

Hey guys... I hope this makes sense... I am building a CF app that will pull Server Info from a Game server via sending info to the UDP port. I am doing this for the new Half-Life 2 Source engine. I have a few dedicated servers that I run for people and I want to post the info on the website. I have seen many apps that do this in PHP or ASP or whatever but cant seems to find much with CF so therefore I am doing it my self with the help of an old COM object found on the net. I have the COM object working and I'm able to pull some info from the servers like player info and a few other things. But I can't seem to get all the variables. And I think it's because I don't know what's in the string that is returned. So my question is this... Can I dump everything that an obj string returns? I know I can <CFDUMP var="#obj#"> but that just give me the structure of the object and its properties. I need to display the raw string so I can see what I'm missing. Any ideas on how I can do this... I'm new to working with COM Objects so I'm not sure what to type. Thanks..
