Just thought I would throw this out there as a tribute to CF's awesomeness.
I had a large HTML file the other day (40 megs) which was the output of a 10 hour job. I didn't want to run the job again, but wanted to go through and find and replace several repetitive parts of the HTML to decrease its size so it would load in a browser more quickly. I messed with that stupid file ALL DAY long in Home site, Metapad, Microsoft Word and every other text editor with a find-and-replace function I had handy. Each of them would max out my computer's CPU (2.4 Gig Intel) for over an hour while the program froze trying to execute the replace until I just killed the process. Finally, after getting fed up near the end of the day, I wrote some insanely simple lines of CF code to cffile read the file in, replacenocase() the text, and cffile write the file back out. It ran in 11 seconds. I obviously should have just done that to begin with. ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:293159 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
