RE: Passing file from form to CFC
Mike, That only exists after you have used CFFILE to save the file to the server. Adrian is referring to the form field that holds the initial file upload, which his CFC is presumably going to do the CFFILE process for. It is actually a binary file, for which there is no argument type, so try ANY.

If you're going to do the upload within the cfc, all you need to pass is the name of the form field.

Re: FW: Certification
I think the nature of this thread is to provide generalizations bout certification. There are so many people with subjective opinions about certification. Does certifying hurt your career? I am willing to wager most would conceed that this will more than likely be No. For those that say yes to the afore mentioned question, I suspect you are being contrarian. I helped teach a certification preperation class. We met once a week for 8 weeks. I believe that I taught probably 3 sessions and provided feedback during every class. The class size was about 6-8 people. The experience levels were novice to expert. We assisted the new people and shared insight amongst the more experienced developers. We used printed copies of cf exam buster to test about certain objectives. Half the people in the room already had a license for the software. Not everyone went on to certify after the 8 weeks, but the preperation for the certification helped remind beginner and experienced developers that there are features out there that they may have rebuilt the wheel for. I am for certification and helping people to prepare for it. It cannot hurt you to share knowledge with others when the goal is to expand our community and promote more new developers to use the product.

Certification
Original Message I doubt you would be chosen just because you have a cert, we always test developers who come for interview and we have turned away many certified ones who knew jack when it can to real written and oral test. The non certs were the ones who shone. In a case where everything else is equal, it could be a deciding factor. Also realize that not all places test their interviewees. Not all places have what I would consider to be qualified folks doing the interviewing (it's frequently managers...the same managers who love to chant the mantra of we don't have time to do it right, we need to get it done quickly and then wonder why 2 weeks after its release it breaks horribly) :) As I've already said...it may -never- help you. But can you argue that it could ever hurt to have? In many cases, you wouldn't get past the HR department without a certification. Many corporations have standard ways of weeding out applicants. One way is to put a certification in the specifications for the position. The HR staff review all the applications and many are tossed just as a first run through the paperwork. Hiring managers may never even see your resume if you don't have a certification. I agree completely with the idea is about breaking ties. Anything that gives you the edge with other equal applicants is positive whether it is the way you handle the interview or your professional certifications. I have always said that I thought that certifications in IT were BS. At one time as a manager, I assumed someone who got a certification had to since they didn't have any skills or experience. I have to admit now (after 20 years of experience) that a youngster with little experience and a certification may make the cut out of HR when I wouldn't no matter my skill level or experience. All being equal, I now encourage workers to get more training and get their certifications. Building a resume is important and continuous. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Still need help!! (Login cflocation)
Doug...
Somewhere, you are checking for the session and if it doesnt exist, you
cflocate to the login page. THAT is the place where you need to grab the
CURRENT page and query strings (or just the entire url for that matter).
Because THAT is the point that you want to return them to.
So...
cfif NOT isdefined('session.isloggedin')
cfset theurl =
urlencodedformat(http://#cgi.server_name#/#cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_stri
ng#) /
cflocation=loginpage.cfm?returnto=#theurl# addtoken=no /
/cfif
So now say you are at
'http://mysite.com/securepage.cfm?someurlvar=42' but not logged in and
should be.
You will be redirected to soemthing like...
Loginpage.cfm?returnto=http%3A%2F%2Fmysite%2Ecom%2Fsecurepage%2Ecfm%3Fsomeur
lvar%3D42
Now... when the user logs in successfully you cflocate to:
#urldecode(url.returnto)#
On your login page, give a default for url.returnto.
Also, on the login page, you want to check to see if the user is logged in,
if they are, then they shouldnt be on a login page. Redirect them to your
default.

Re: Certification
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. -Mike Chabot On 12/17/06, Nicholas M Tunney [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In the staffing portion of my company, we do not pay any attention to Brainbench certs.

Cffile action read wont give you anything more than the content of the file. A len(myfile) /1024 may give you the kilobytes though :-) cffile action=read file=d:\path\to\my\file.ext variable=myfile / #len(myfile) / 1024# kb Or...you can cfdirectory the parent dir of the file and use a filter of the files name. then the var you want is 'size' cfdirectory directory=d:\path\to\directory filter=myfile.ext name=myfile / #myfile.size# ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Re: OT: Java Code Translation
I'm a bit rusty too, but I know T represents a data type. There are
certain times when you can have an object that takes multiple data
types. A Vector is a good example. If you specify the data type T it
just forces it to take that data type. I think this speeds up
processing just slightly because the JVM doesn't have to figure it out.

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.

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.

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).

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 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.

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. Brainbench certifications are unproctored, so you can't even tell if the applicant actually took it, can you?

Best way to read in Excel/CSV files
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. !//-- andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

Re: CFScript inside a CFC
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.

Jon,
Here's a snippet of a discussion my local CFUG just had on this subject
(in reverse order so you can read it top down):
On 11/28/06, Eric Knipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
It was my understanding that
cfscript
if (a eq b) { a = c; }
/cfscript
is the same performance-wise as
cfif (a eq b)
cfset a = c /
/cfif
as the CF compiler turns them into the same thing .. I am pretty sure
there
have been other discussions on this topic. As of CFMX I thought
there was
no performance difference?
On 11/28/06, Phillip Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Nope. Your example may be immeasurable, but with more advanced
functionality, that is not the case.
Obviously, ColdFusion is middle ware for your middle ware. It is a
collection of servlets that consolidate Java functionality into one
tidy command. Calling a tag when you can script it out with one
cfscript block, simply creates another import and more code in the
final JIT. If you write the code in cfscript, it is closer to the end
result (Java) than if CF has to import more servlet libraries to get
to the final result.
Get yourself a java decompiler, write the code both ways in two
different files, decompile the JIT, and you'll see what I mean. Most
of all, turn your debug times on and look at the difference.
--Phillip Holmes
I think it's actually a pretty common practice.

Chris,
I would be wary of using cfscript just for supposed performance gains
over tags. My understanding is that those gains were eliminated (or
reduced to the point of insignificance) in CF 6.x and 7.x. Here are
what I see as the pros and cons of cfscript. These points are largely
a matter of preference:
Pros of cfscript
-- more readable
-- less typing
-- more like other languages (Java, JavaScript) - sometimes can copy
Java snippets and they function with little modification in cfscript
Cons
-- many pieces of cf functionality do not exist in cfscript (e.g.
throw, dump, abort) or are awkward (looping over queries) - we have a
CFScript.cfm include with functions like Throw(), Dump(), Abort() to
get around this, but for cfquery we always use tags
-- might be inconsistent with other code written in tags; I like to
see consistency throughout an application
Jon
I was told by some members of my local CFUG that
writing code within CFScript tags whenever possible is faster (performance
wise), so I'm giving it a go.

#dirlist# is a query object (it's the name you gave your cfdirectory. you need to make a specfic reference to the 'size' column returned by the cfdirectory call.

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
Jon Gunnip wrote:
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.

Here's a snippet of a discussion my local CFUG just had on this subject

On 11/28/06, Eric Knipp [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

cfscript
if (a eq b) { a = c; }

there
have been other discussions on this topic. As of CFMX I thought
there was
no performance difference?

Nope. Your example may be immeasurable, but with more advanced
functionality, that is not the case.
Obviously, ColdFusion is middle ware for your middle ware. It is a
collection of servlets that consolidate Java functionality into one
tidy command. Calling a tag when you can script it out with one
cfscript block, simply creates another import and more code in the
final JIT. If you write the code in cfscript, it is closer to the end
result (Java) than if CF has to import more servlet libraries to get
to the final result.
Get yourself a java decompiler, write the code both ways in two
different files, decompile the JIT, and you'll see what I mean. Most
of all, turn your debug times on and look at the difference.
--Phillip Holmes
I think it's actually a pretty common practice.

Chris,
I would be wary of using cfscript just for supposed performance gains
over tags. My understanding is that those gains were eliminated (or
reduced to the point of insignificance) in CF 6.x and 7.x. Here are
what I see as the pros and cons of cfscript. These points are largely
a matter of preference:
Pros of cfscript
-- more readable
-- less typing
-- more like other languages (Java, JavaScript) - sometimes can copy
Java snippets and they function with little modification in cfscript
Cons
-- many pieces of cf functionality do not exist in cfscript (e.g.
throw, dump, abort) or are awkward (looping over queries) - we have a
CFScript.cfm include with functions like Throw(), Dump(), Abort() to
get around this, but for cfquery we always use tags
-- might be inconsistent with other code written in tags; I like to
see consistency throughout an application
Jon
I was told by some members of my local CFUG that
writing code within CFScript tags whenever possible is faster (performance
wise), so I'm giving it a go.

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 cfif FindNoCase(phone_,i) AND LEN(form[i]) and it gets all of the fields with phone just fine, but when I add other fields to it, nothing happens.

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 - superior web viewing). Do you think that most people have the Flash player plug-in loaded in their browser? PDF format is excellent for creating secure and compact files for e-mailing, archiving, and printing. 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: Best way to read in Excel/CSV files
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).

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: CFSET number = DateDiff(d, 12/12/2006 1:36:51 PM, now()) cfoutput#number#/cfoutput Give that a whirl. Also, when you're in a tag like CFSet you do not need to put pounds around your variables unless you're dynamically evaluating them. hope that helps, Cheers, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Why is this not working?

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.
