Query of Queries
I am having trouble with a query of query. Is there a known issue with 0 values in query of queries? I have a result set called getShipping that produces the following result set: getShipping result set == 18|0|Free Shipping 19|15|2nd Day Air 20|20|3 Day Select 22|25|Next Day Air Note: 18|0|Free Shipping, the 0 is the value for shipping. Then I try to run the following query of queries (without ANY other code in between) SELECT code,rate,description FROM getShipping And here is it's result set: (Note the 18//Free Shipping the 0 is now gone. I could write some code to look for the "" and then replace it with a 0 but that seems hacked and wanted to know if I am missing something. Shipping query of queries result set: 18//Free Shipping 19/15/2nd Day Air 20/20/3 Day Select 22/25/Next Day Air Paul Giesenhagen QuillDesign [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Yet another reason why many software consultants are more familar with and more likely to recommend open source software: because they can easily get a copy to develop on and learn with. Sure, software vendors can do what they want. But if I can't easily get a copy, I won't be able to tell my clients any more than they could read themselves on the website. And yes, paying less than $10 for a trial copy does count as easily obtainable, I just object to the marketing double-speak. If they want to keep closer tabs on who's downloading it, fine by me. Just say so.

I don't understand statements like this Look at Microsoft's portfolio - they have MANY diverse products, some of which have effect completely different markets, yet they continue to produce them Why wouldn't a company the size of Macromedia want to continue to produce products like ColdFusion? If they're making new versions of the product, would this indicate that they're going to continue with it? If you think they're going to back away from it, and other products, then I suggest you switch to a product that you KNOW isn't going to be dumped, as it's open-source. That'll discount ASP.NET then as Microsoft COULD possibly get rid of that... Oh, and you'd better avoid other non-open-source products, so that also includes IIS as Microsoft could dump that as well In fact you had better avoid any company which sells a product as they could drop their support, and only use open-source applications, but what database server does that leave you with? mySQL is retail, as is SQL Server, Oracle, and any of the other "major" ones - support for them could be dropped by the current company Or you can just enjoy using ColdFusion as it is now, with it's great community support, and stop complaining that MM "might" drop their support for a product that they only purchased a couple of years ago [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

It looks as if you can't pull a value in this method. Everything must

the root name (so to speak) is deliveryMethod and the publicationID and
delivery method need to be combined with the name.
To make pulling data easier I would use 1,2,3 for the delivery method 1=

It works, thanks very much. Just wondering if I'm missing anything here.

Re: FLEX: are you HERE or are you NOW?
My take on this is... Macromedia wants to build a "closer" relationship with potential Flex customers. I've personally downloaded CFMX about a dozen times. Am I in there database a dozen times? ( I doubt it, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have multiple accounts at their site). Multiple accounts mean more "Dead" leads in the sales database. You have to pay for the CD; even a small amount. If you aren't serious about an interest in the technology, you won't pay anything for it. i might download flex out of curiosity, but I wouldn't pay for a CD since I know the whole thing is out of my price range. That leads to a more focused marketing list. Things like this are common in Enterprise class applications (I've worked on a few ERP apps; although Flex probably isn't as "mission critical" as a full ERP suite) Personally, I think it is great that MM is going after the enterprise market. While flex does not directly affect me, I hope that Enterprise class folk will buy it, like the results, and then take another look at ColdFusion.

Re: loops and radio buttons
It looks like you are trying to loop over, for example, the results for newsletter A. You don't need to. Newsletter A's result should be a single value -- either online, hardcopy, or "both". You are also checking to see if Newsletter A's result exists. If one of the radio buttons is checked, it will. If you plan to have situations where none of the buttons for that newsletter are selected, it would probably be better to add a "neither" category instead. I don't know if that answers your question, but I hope it helps get a better fix on the problem in general. --Ben Doom Gilbert Midonnet wrote: > I'm getting lost doing something that I thought would be easy.

I can only add that MM is marketing Flex the way a lot of enterprise products are marketed.

I thought that installation support, at least, was initially free. However, I also suspect that MM intends to differentiate Flex support, at least initially, from other support. This is just my own guess, but if I ran MM, I'd be more concerned about having Flex support do more to help new projects succeed than with other products, as there isn't an existing Flex market yet.

nearby zip codes
I read the thread a few weeks about about distance radius searching for US zip codes, but - what about doing neighboring zip codes.

Maybe I am asking for too much in the specs but if you want you can check out the posting. The position is for a JAVA/JSP programmer with some CFMX experience.

Maybe I'm just not good at reading between the lines. Are there extras on the CD that will give "early Flex customers get the support they need to evaluate the product successfully"? It sounds like marketing double-speak to me.

Flex is an advanced enterprise server product that has generated massive interest and anticipation across the industry. Macromedia wants to ensure that early Flex customers get the support they need to evaluate the product successfully. A downloadable version of the Flex trial may become available in the future." So the reason is that Macromedia wants to make sure that early evaluators get support. But how is having people paying $8.99 going to help with that? Am I to understand that Macromedia can provide support for only $8.99? Or am I to understand that Macromedia wants to limit the number of frivolous downloads?

Re: Flex is out
Dave, I would guess that not everyone runs on 1 CPU boxes, and many shops do run 2 or more CPUs in a box, so I was going somewhat middle of the road, also by only specifying 2 load balanced servers I was being light. I notice your arrangement doesn't include a license for your development box. I also referenced Tomcat (freeware), but did not list the price for Websphere either, again going middle of the road on that pricing. The ROI will depend on the value add of having RIA interface elements and widgets in your site or application. How much value will those items add to your product? Are we not doing them now because of cost? Keep in mind, I feel that any such decision needs to consider the procurement cost, and the resource cost. So whether the price of learning is not part of procurement isn't really important, it's that there are additional costs beyond the procurement price that is important.

In our environment, yes we're clustered across 2 servers, but each box only has 1 CPU, so I only need one license. (As I've mentioned before, you can split the CPU licenses across multiple boxes.)

But I'm assuming by "subscription pricing" you mean annual maintenance contracts, which are indeed standard nowadays. It clearly states on the Flex pricing page: "Flex presentation server pricing starts at $12,000 for two CPUs and includes annual maintenance." http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/buy/ So your 40% goes out the window too. >Also if I'm not mistaken, you have to provide an application server for it >to run on.

You don't need ColdFusion to run Flex, and you can install this on Tomcat if you'd like.

Most OO languages allow the use of static classes, don't they? In those cases, you're not interested in creating instances of objects, you simply have an object that contains a bunch of useful, related methods. As for why you'd use "static" CFCs instead of UDFs, I'd suggest the facts that they generate documentation and can be used easily within Dreamweaver MX as two reasons. > I prefer a single, architecturally solid construct over > multiple ways to do things that violate the very benefits > that they are supposed to bring. I prefer to use languages that let me do what I want to do, rather than ones that tell me what I should do. Ease of use and flexibility are closely related. Granted, I wouldn't mind at all if CFMX provided a CFCONSTRUCTOR tag like BlueDragon does, but if I want to write OO code, I'll use an OO language. If I want to be able to mix procedural and OO code to my liking, I'll use CF.

Re: Can a Regex do this?
Looks like TeX or LaTeX, which is a fairly standard markup language
(especially in scientific printing). If my guess is right, you should
be able to pretty easily find a converter for them.
You probably *could* use a series of regex to parse the files, but it
would be a lot easier to find something to do it automatically

Can a Regex do this?
Hi,
I have 800 .hlp files which are not actually WinHelp, but some proprietary form of help file, and we need to convert them into something readable. I guess my first question is whether or not anyone can tell from the output below what type of help file this is. Open Interface comes up when you click on "Help" within the help application itself. Perhaps there is a software upgrade which would solve the problem.
Since it is not an actual WinHelp file, RoboHelp cannot import it. Instead of manually rewriting the files, I was wondering if an elaborate regular _expression_ could work, or whether some other software or programming language could be used. The file below contains formatting that I could theoretically recognize, and pull the appropriate data to make an html file. For example, I want to locate the first the "topic" line and make that the header for a new html document. The text between "\0\p\p\p will become the text below that. Any \subtopic will be hyperlinks to bookmarks to the corresponding \topic text below it, and so on.
I can write out what I want in Plain Language, so there must be a way in a programming language. I just need to be pointed in the right direction. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Andrew

Re: Time Out Error with
I had a similar problem, and asked the tag author for help. The solution was that the .exe file that comes in the ZIP of the tag is an installation program, and not the actual executable that will be used. I ran the exe on the server, which installs HTMLDoc. Providing the path to that exe file made it work, and the PDFs are produced very nicely. It looks like an extremely useful program, much easier to use than others I've looked at and certainly much less expensive!

FLEX: are you HERE or are you NOW?
Well, it went really well initially. I was involved in the Flex beta from early on and beavered away on an RIA web-based email client (non-refreshing, drag/drop messages to folders etc, looks great, awesome actually). Showed the assembled crowd how it was put together (CFMX backend in my example) and was asked the key question - "How much?". For my web-mail client - it is not for sale yet as I am wanting IMAP support in CFML first - as for Flex - a staggering US$12,000.00). "Oooohhh!" Was the general (censored) sentiment. "How do I get 'Flex' and can I download a trial?" - Yes you can but at the same time no you cannot. I had to say "pay up" or order the CD-ROM. You cannot download it from an easily accessible site just yet (if ever). But for $15.00 or more Australian dollars you may get it on CD eventually. And that is pretty much how Macromedia are treating their international customers at the moment. Pay up or give up. For now I am putting the code aside.

Not Browsing a CFC or something.
Looking for advice, I've got an application that is using CFC's including cfcs that are actions of forms. This all works great, (I'm becoming a big fan of CFC's whether they are true OOP or not ;). The trouble is this application has a timeout feature. If left open too long (5 minutes) without activity, the login times out. If you try to initiate activity after the timeout period, you are required to log in before the action is taken. The undesired behavior is, if the action taken was a form submit to a processing cfc, after the login page the user is relocated to the cfc which of course causes to the cfc meta data to be displayed in the browser. Is there anything I could do about this? A simple solution to provider better behavior? Thanks -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run.

Re: string formatting and manipulation
If the db is MS-SQL or Sybase, you could possibly do this with T/SQL But, sooner or later the db needs to be normalized: a separate table for comments -- something like this * * * CommentID Integer Primary Key, MainTableID Integer References MainTable(MainTableID) CommentDateTime DateTime, Comment Text (or varchar) * * * With this structure, you let SQL do its thing -- and doing what you are trying to do is fast, simple and efficient! The sooner you do this the better -- before you propagate convoluted work-arounds to (bad, bad) db design throughout your applications HTH Dick On Mar 31, 2004, at 10:02 AM, Deanna Schneider wrote: > So, you're saying all the comments are just in one big text field?

Re: Flex is out
Thanks for the clarifications, Christian. One question tho: I have checked out the samples explorer, and the one thing that I find lacking as far as an example is accessibility - an issue of extreme importance in my shop. There are in fact two levels of accessibility; allowing persons with mild vision disability to modify the GUI to meet their needs (i.e. larger fonts, contrasting colors for colorblindness, etc.) as well as enabling screen readers to navigate a site or page in an efficient and user-friendly manner. On the features page, Flex claims to be accessible, my question is how?

RE: CFINVOKE vs CreateObject - Flogging OOP!
There was a huge discussion about this on the CFC Dev mailing list. I'm still relatively new to OO but moving over to the Mach-II framework has helped me get a better understanding for it. I personally use createObject(), I haven't seen a need to use . I have a feeling that with Blackstone you will see true Constructors make their way into CF since a lot of people have this same gripe. As far as it moving to a full fledged OO based language, I'm not sure CF will ever move to that. It will probably stop a lot of CF developers from upgrading if they have to learn OO programming. I think that is the reason a lot of people went with CF, so they can do complex things easily. Ben -Original Message- From: Nikhil Madani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 10:57 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFINVOKE vs CreateObject - Flogging OOP! I have a deep sense of loathing for the use of CFC's with cfinvoke given that Macromedia meant the latest CF release to be an "object-oriented" version. I'm aware that they do not claim it to be a completely OO based language like Java for example, but to me the valuable patterns that OO theorists developed over the years to help model real-world scenarios are lost without some of the constructs. Take for example the lack of constructors and overloading. So many useful design patterns are dependent on these very basic OOP constructs. Even if one allows CFMX leeway on this issue (I can understand that the learning curve can be steeper for newbees with all the OOP bells and whistles) and come back to the core of object-orientation, which is encapsulation, CFMX fails horribly to justify . Encapsulation is at the core of OOP- an object is defined as having some properties and certain behaviors. The idea is to keep those two tightly combined in one logical unit. Instantiation is another core behavior - creating and using a particular instance of a class(object) makes perfect sense. After all a class is but a template. With that in mind- is blasphemy in the name of Object Orientation! encourages the design and usage of CFCs as a mere collection of (potentially unrelated) functions. Without instantiation, initialization of properties and proper use of instance methods, of what benefit is a CFC? You could always use a UDF instead or even a custom tag. I remember seeing Ben Forta's commments somewhere about this- that its ok for CF not to go the whole hog in being OO based since after all it is a rapid development scripting tool. I agree in principle but the half-hearted fence-straddling constructs somehow unsettle me very much. I must admit that I've worked with C++ and Java for years before I ever started with CF and that definitely colors my view of the issue. I prefer a single, architecturally solid construct over multiple ways to do things that violate the very benefits that they are supposed to bring. What do you think?

Re: CFINVOKE vs CreateObject - Flogging OOP!
Nikhil, I agree with you for the most part. I think the addition of CFCs to CF is a big step forward, but the partial implementation of OOP is frustrating (the lack of overloading and interfaces are my pet peeves). However, I think it's okay that CF is not full OOP. The solution for me is to use a mix of CF and Java, each doing what it does best. To me, CF runs circles around JSPs and tags for presentation, while Java is superior for modeling business objects and processes. So, I use a MVC architecture, with CF handling the VC and Java the M. Mach-II appears to provide a nice framework for cleanly separating the responsibilities between CF and Java. I'm doing this on a current client project and so far have been pleased.
