Here's an odd question...
I'm using CF 401(on windows98 with WebSite Pro - this is my dev machine)
and while I'm able to get cffile to perform the write for a file I need to
create, one thing I've noticed is that it creates the file with the
attribute of 'system' by default.
Here's what I'm using (mind you, it does work - mostly):
<CFIF #FileExists(OUTFILE)# IS "Yes">
<CFFILE ACTION="Rename"
SOURCE="Quiz#FORM.Course#.cfm"
DESTINATION="old_Quiz#FORM.Course#.cfm"
ATTRIBUTES="Normal">
</CFIF>
<CFIF #FileExists(OUTFILE)# IS "No">
<CFFILE ACTION="WRITE"
FILE="#OUTFILE#"
OUTPUT="#TXTOUTPUT#"
ATTRIBUTES="Normal"
ADDNEWLINE="No">
<CFELSE>
<CFFILE ACTION="APPEND"
FILE="#OUTFILE#"
OUTPUT="#TXTOUTPUT#"
ATTRIBUTES="Normal"
ADDNEWLINE="No">
</CFIF>
The problem comes in when I'm trying to use the rename action. The file is
created (I verified this by checking the directory where I told it to write
the file), but for some reason (maybe because it's created as a system
filetype?) CF cannot find the file in order to rename it. Is there some way
of forcing CFFile to create a file as a truly normal file?
TIA
