Yes, we can, but there is still one small issue. I have two tables that are
having information inserted into it. The first one has the dynamic fields
Name_x, Phone_x and Email_x.
The second table has the information from the second group of dynamic fields
Language_x and LanguageSpoken_x.

What I think I will do is use another character besides the _ for the second
group, then do your suggestion. that should work.

Thanks,

Bruce

Re: Disregard last email

can we safely assume that all of the dynamically named fields will
contain underscores and the static fields will not?  if so, that'd be
kinda groovy, 'cuz then you should be able to do:



also, throw a trim() inside the len() function to handle any spaces in
the form field value.

java.io.File lastModifed() string conver sion

2006-12-18 Thread Richard Ashley

I'm using the java class java.io.File to read the contents of a file, 
specifically the lastModified. The lastModified method is returning a number 
and I am not sure how to convert the number. I have poked around on the net but 
haven't found an answer. 

Any ideas on how to convert 1.16420452619E+012 into 11/22/2006 9:08:46AM. This 
is on a windows server, IIS6.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Disregard last email

That did not work Charlie. Not only is it giving me the two static fields,
but also the hidden field and the submit button name.
I did try this though:


This did exclude all of the fields except the ones I want, but it is also
giving me all of the empty ones. If I just do this:



Then I get all of the fields with Name_ in them but nothing else. Surely I
am missing something basic?

Re: Passing file from form to CFC

2006-12-18 Thread Mike Kear

Ah yes, Russ, a subtlety I hadnt really twigged on, because I've
always saved on the line immediately after the upload.   Quite so.

Now you mention it, it's as obvious as dogs .   well its obvious.


But there's still a wealth of information in that file struct when you
do eventually see it. I remember the first time i looked at that
struct, and was staggered at how much was there.

Re: Problem with array and dynamic form variables

2006-12-18 Thread Jacob Munson

I think you may want to do a struct instead of an array.  Arrays are
just indexed values, you can't do name-value type stuff, but you can
with structs.  Or am I misunderstanding your problem?

Re: Why datediff

Good catch Jake. It's something that Ian and I both missed. You 
definitely have to have quotes around the date part ("d"). I prefer 
double quotes, but do whatever you like.

Also, there's still no reason to do the dateformat statements.

Re: Why datediff

 because,

dateformat(12/12/2006 1:36:51 PM, "MM/DD/")

is not a date/time object. Now,

CreateODBCDateTime(dateformat(12/12/2006 1:36:51 PM, "MM/DD/"))

should be a valid date/time object.

Or, you might be able to say:

dateformat("12/12/2006 1:36:51 PM", "MM/DD/")

and get your desired results, but then if CF recognizes "12/12/2006 1:36:51 PM" 
as a valid date/time object (and I believe it does), then there'd be no point 
in doing the dateformat. just do the date diff like this:

#number#

Give that a whirl. Also, when you're in a tag like  you do not need to 
put pounds around your variables unless you're dynamically evaluating them.

hope that helps,

Cheers,
Chris

Re: Why datediff

don't believe you need the dateFormat() either.  dateDiff doesn't
particularly care what format a date's in.

Why is this not working?


#number#

ERROR
The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging 
purposes. 

Error Occurred While Processing Request 
Missing argument name. 
When using named parameters to a function, every parameter must have a name. 
The CFML compiler was processing: 
an expression beginning with "#", on line 9, column 17.This message is usually 
caused by a problem in the expressions structure. 
a CFSET tag beginning on line 9, column 2.

RE: Best way to read in Excel/CSV files

OK, like I said I was in mid-process here, but maybe it will help
someone.  You may need to tweak application.cfc before it will run for
you because I have this plugged into a login framework, but let me know
if this gives you any idea's!

Christopher,

I started something to do exactly what you are talking about, only I was
creating it to be variable.  So, and end user would upload 2 excel
files, and on the next screen they would choose which columns they
wanted to compare.  Then they would choose what type of comparison (only
matching, non matching, etc).  Then it would spit out to the screen, or
excel, or pdf, etc.  I cannot promise this will work perfect, but I have
some mid-project code if you wanted to peek?

* Interview with Glenda Vigoreaux "ColdFusion Printing and Reporting"

Michael Smith: This time we are talking with Glenda Vigoreaux about her
CFUNITED-06 talk "ColdFusion Printing and Reporting". So why should a
developer be interested in this topic?

Glenda Vigoreaux: I believe that converting a CF document into a PDF
printable document is the most amazing and useful feature added to
CFMX7. I have many clients that upgraded to CF7 when they found out they
can convert their output into a PDF or FlashPaper document. My session
is introductory and anyone with basic CF experience can attend.  Another
reason to attend is that I give away goodies in my presentations. Last year
I gave away 2 free Macromedia classes from roundpeg, worth over $1000 each.

MS: Wow cool! Does this new document functionality require a lot of 
recoding?

GV: Tons of code... 2 lines - an open and close CF tag to start with.

MS: Wow cool! But what about more complex situations - like repeating
page headers and footers? Or sections?

GV: You can control page headers and footers also, with a minimal amount of
"massaging". You can also create sections, where you start a new page with a
new header and footer when a value in a specific field changes.

MS: You mentioned Flashpaper - why would I pick that over PDF for output?

GV: Flashpaper can instantly generate Flash documents that can be accessed
by over half a billion web users (just like Adobe marketing describes -

MS: What about reporting? What is new there?

GV: CFMX7 comes with a separate application called the ColdFusion report
builder. It reminds me of Crystal Reports (not sure if that's good or bad).
This tool allows you to create bands where you place labels, data, charts,
and gives you finer control for your printed output. You can also generate
Excel files way easier than before ColdFusion 7.

Re: CFScript inside a CFC

Do you know if the code was from a recent version of MX?

I'm pretty sure that even as of MX 6,  was faster...and you
could see in the decompiled code why (as you mention below).  However,
I believe that as of MX 6.1 (and onward), that was no longer the case.

I could be wrong, so I'm curious to know what CF platform these tests
were conducted on.

Re: Disregard last email

Not sure really.
What I have are a total of five dynamically named form fields. They are:

Name_X, Phone_x, Email_X for the first group, then
LanguageName_x, LanguageSpoken_x in the second group.

The first group of information goes into one table and the second group of
information goes into the second table. I have a hidden form field that
enters a FK into these tables that is linked to another table that has
already been populated with part one of the form. (this is a two part form).

There are a total of 10 rows for each group, but not all 10 rows are going
to be filled out all the time. There are some instances where only one or
two rows will be filled out, so that is why I am doing the LEN function. I
will get rid of the evaluate function and see what happens.

I am having one problem though. There are two other fields in this form that
go into the master table, so I need to exclude these from the array. I am
doing a FindNocase function and it works fine when I put in only one of the
fields (like  and it gets all
of the fields with phone just fine, but when I add other fields to it,
nothing happens. So since I know the other two fields are not dynamic, how
can I exclude them from this so I get only the information I need?

Re: CFScript inside a CFC

Jon,

I just posted that so you'd know where I got my information. Phillip 
*has* actually decompiled the JIT code and seen that for complex 
examples that CFScript is faster, because it's closer in resemblance to 
the byte code that ColdFusion ultimately parses. Phillip just stated 
better than I could have.

I don't know why folks don't talk about this more. Maybe because it's a 
no-brain-er  and I'm the only dolt who didn't realize that cfscript tags 
could be used inside of cffunction tags, and that it's faster to boot 
(in complex cases, of course).

Well, I've got my little function running now, and it works like a 
champ. Would it have worked if I re-wrote the thing using tags, sure. 
But I'd already written it and donated the code to CFLib.org, so why not 
just use what's already been written? :o)

Cheers,
Chris

Yes, but most of the content contributed by this one specific person is on
one-off pieces, e.g. flyers etc, and that person is using their knowledge of
designing flyers and trying to use it for web stuff.

Web users may not have many fonts; they might disable some/all graphics.

Print media cannot be dynamic or interactive.

Subject: Print vs web media - content and design differences in two
paragraphs?

I've been tasked with explaining in two paragraphs the differences between
web and print media in terms of design, content and technical issues.

Key differences I see include:
* You can't guarantee that the output will look the same for everyone so you
need to keep to standards and limit the craziness.
* All content should be available on web pages rather than in PDFs.
* Sites should have a consistent look and feel, so the layout shouldn't be
changed on every other page.

Any other ideas?  Thanks.

Re: Disregard last email

so, just out of curiousity...why do you need this array?

you also don't need the evaluate().  you can simply do form[i] (which
is -exactly- what you're doing in your conditional where you're
testing len(form[i]).).

Actually, you can specify the excel file you want right in the query,
like this:

SELECT
[INVOICE AMOUNT] as InvAmount,
[INVOICE NUMBER] as InvNumber,
[ORDER NUMBER] as OrderNum,
[PAID AMOUNT] as PaidAmount,
[BALANCE DUE] as BalDue,
[COMMENTS] as Comment
FROM
`data$`
IN
'd:\webroot\reports.net\baldue\temp\#cffile.serverFile#'
'EXCEL 5.0;'
WHERE
[ORDER NUMBER] > 0 

'data$' is the workbook name inside your spreadsheet, and the rest
should be obvious =)

So, just setup your DSN as a generic Excel ODBC datasource (I named mine
Excel, aint I creative?) and query away!

I'd connect to it as a data source, I think. It's just less for the 
client to do. Of course, the file will have to be named the same thing 
each time, else you'd have to create a new DSN each time for each 
differently named file.

Check out their type 4 JDBC Excel driver  
available on www.HXTT.com . I'm currently using their 
Type 4 DBF driver for visual FoxPro, and it works like a champ. The 
developers, are very ready to help any of their users via email. I've 
never used their text drivers, but I imagine they're not too hard to get

the hang of.

Hope this helps.

Problem with array and dynamic form variables

Hello list,
I have a form that has some dynamic form fields. I know how to loop through
the fields, get the field names and the information in them, but what I need
to do is marry up the fields with the data entered in them to insert them
into a couple of tables. I know I need to build an array to hold these
name-value pairs, but I am having a brain fart making this work. I am using
arrayappend to do this but I think that is not the right approach. I googled
this topic and cannot find exactly what I am looking for. If someone has
done this before I would appreciate if you could assist.

Thanks,

Bruce

cfloop: strange error

2006-12-18 Thread coldfusion . developer

I'm using a image component and trying to loop through the uploaded file until
the size requirement
is met. However, I'm not sure about this error message. Is there anything
wrong with my cfloop?
All the path variables are good and in a global_variables.cfm file in the Web
root.

line 355

ERROR:
Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as
a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to a simple value.
Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values.
Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values.
The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to use a complex
value as a simple one. For example, you might be trying to use a query variable
in a tag. This was possible in ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an error in
later versions.

Print vs web media - content and design differences in two paragraphs?

2006-12-18 Thread Damien McKenna

I've been tasked with explaining in two paragraphs the differences between
web and print media in terms of design, content and technical issues.
 
Key differences I see include:
* You can't guarantee that the output will look the same for everyone so you
need to keep to standards and limit the craziness.
* All content should be available on web pages rather than in PDFs.
* Sites should have a consistent look and feel, so the layout shouldn't be
changed on every other page.

Any other ideas?  Thanks.

Re: CFScript inside a CFC

2006-12-18 Thread Jon Gunnip

Chris,

I have not done any benchmarks on cfscript vs. tags, but if there were
significant performance differences, I would expect to have heard of
these differences by now.  Phillip's argument is that there is a
difference in compiled code, but I did not see any reason to conclude
that there is an observable difference in performance.

The popuplar O-O frameworks in CF, like Mach-II and Model-Glue, use
tags in the framework code that I have looked at, and those frameworks
have had significant time put into them in peformance tuning.

But there is NOT a webcam recording of the individual who was actually sitting

of proctoring.  To make sure the person taking the test is who they say they 
are, and are following in rules in place.

Best way to read in Excel/CSV files

2006-12-18 Thread Andy Matthews

I have a client who wants me to build a quick admin tool for him. It would
allow him to upload 2 files from different dates and list the differences.
It's bascially two Excel files with 4 columns each and about 9000 lines
apiece.

So my question is, would it be better to connect to the Excel file as a
datasource or have him convert to a CSV text file and upload that way? He'll
be using this tool each day to compare the current day's file to the
previous day's file.

Yes you can, you can view their results online. 

I believe Dave's point was that if you don't proctor the exam, you can tell
if the person who took the test is the one applying for the position.  Maybe
he got his really good friend "Ben Forta" or somebody to take the examine
for him.

TinyMCE Editor

2006-12-18 Thread Chad McCue

I have installed the TinyMCE editor on my development site, running
windows and ColdFusion 6. I have downloaded the spellchecker plug-in but
can't get it to show up on the editor or work for that matter.
 
Has anyone downloaded the file manager and gotten that to work? I need
some help ASAP on this. I would like to use the TinyMCE editor but due
to my time constraints and the difficulty getting it set up to work I
may have to change my mind.

Re: Certification

2006-12-18 Thread Bryan Stevenson

Hey all you highly certified (and thus extremely bright right)have a look 
at 
my thread on "CFDOCUMENT hell" and put some of that awesome power to work ;-)

I'm about to start forcing page breaks after counting lines which is why I 
wanted to use CFDOCUMENT in the first friggin place (to handle pagination and 
section specific headers with ease).  It forces a flippin page break after each 
section and if you have more than one header, the last one overwrites all 
others 
(regardless of being in a section or not)!!

So put on those thinking caps on and refer to your exam study materials and be 
helpful and let this poor certification thread die alreadyhave mercy on the 
poor thing ;-)

Other then there is nothing preventing someone from proctoring the test if they 
so desire.  Just don't let the applicant take the test on their own.

RE: Certification

I don't know. I took a brainbench CF test back in the day and I remember a lot
of questions that you can just paste into an cfm page, run it and get the
answer...

Russ

IIRC the Brainbench test I took for CFMX that a recruiter requested I take a
few months ago, one could no longer "copy and paste" the code. It was an image
or something so that you would have to type it to do that trick. But I'm not
sure.

I do know, back in the day, I took the HTML test and got a something like a
4.19, something that was just a few hundredths below a master. I said to
myself, "Hey that can't be more then one question." So I took at again. And I
got the same score. Took it again a couple of hours later and got the same
score. I had to spend an evening studying and then I got a better score.

I was impressed with the consistency of the testing.

RE: Certification

Well statistically speaking, you should be able to get 25% (if the answers
have 4 choices) just by guessing.  If you can eliminate some of the wrong
answers from the questions using educated guessing.  Unless the test is very
well designed in such a way that it is not immediately apparent which
questions are wrong, a person should easily be able to get a higher then 25%
score.

I know someone who won the lottery. That doesn't mean I think it's a fair
bet that I will also win the lottery.

That said, I don't think the CF certification is especially hard, and it
does include quite a bit of non-CF stuff (HTML, basic CSS, JS, SQL). There
are plenty of multiple-choice IT certs that are quite difficult, even if
you're familiar with the subject matter.

RE: Certification

I don't know.  I took a brainbench CF test back in the day and I remember a
lot of questions that you can just paste into an cfm page, run it and get
the answer...

Re: Certification

This is why I don't buy into certifications. Anyone can study for a 
test, and get the answers right. Thankfully my boss sees it the same 
way. My company has each applicant take a logic test (11 questions), and 
if you don't pass with a 9 or better you don't get hired. Period. It 
doesn't matter how much schooling you've had or which alphabet soup 
certifications you've got. My company is interested in smart people that 
get results. Not folks who can take a test.

"I SUMMON THE *VAST* POWERS OF CERTIFICATION! Oh.
Well this is embarassing... that's all I remember from those classes..."

Chris

xmlsearch and xpath

Question:

 

Can an xpath contain conditional logic which looks at a node's xmltext,
NOT just an attribute value?

 

For instance:

 



hello world

spam

 

 

What xpath would find all "item" nodes with an xmltext of "spam"?

 

Thanks

Given that most universities do not require their instructors or professors
to have any skills at teaching, I'm not surprised that he would have such an
opinion. A well designed multiple choice test cannot be passed by random
selection. Depending on the structure, even getting 25% using random

You seem to be viewing Brainbench certs unfavorably because you can look up
answers in the manual as you take the test. The Brainbench tests are
intended to be open-book and the Adobe test is intended to be closed-book.
So the questions you see on a Brainbench test are much harder than the
questions on the Adobe test. Many of the questions cannot be answered
without looking up the answer. That is what you are being tested on. Can you
look up the correct answer or solve the problem within two minutes. It is
not testing how well you can memorize a study guide.

I would place a higher value on a vendor cert, but I would look favorably on
a Brainbench cert as well. The fact that someone took the time to get
certified is an indication that they are serious about their career and are
interested in professional growth.

That is because you need to grab the information before you do the

So get the refer or the url, store it in a session or wherever then do the

I've never seen actual java code like that in my life.

It looks more like tagged documentation of java code, and the  just
represents  the tag for the data type, which in this case is
"IExpectationSetters"

Thanks Jake.so it certainly does appear that there is a few STUPID bugs

the CFDOCUMENT set of tags.  Having used iText I wondered how they would have

Given that most universities do not require their instructors or professors to 
have any skills at teaching, I'm not surprised that he would have such an 
opinion. A well designed multiple choice test cannot be passed by random 
selection. Depending on the structure, even getting 25% using random responses
