RE: How to get file sizes dynamically?
Gotta run, so need to keep it short, but you can call a CFDirectory on that file: cfdirectory action=LIST directory=#ExpandPath( './mp3/' )# name=qFileSize filter=my_mp3_file.mp3 / This will return a cFdirectory query in which qFileSize.size will have the name of the file (Check for qFileSize.REcordCount first just to be sure or wrap in Val()).

Subject: Preventing long strings of one character
I'm building an email signup form for kids. Sometimes they (or their
adults) type in values with long strings of one letter:
avid for example.
I'd like to loop over the form fields and check for any occurrence of
one character repeated more than 3 times. That should cover any legit
instance.
I'm guessing that this would be a cause for REReplaceNoCase, but I'm not
certain what the regex would be. Anyone have input? For simplicity's
sake, I'll just search for any letters or numbers.
So I want to find any occurrence of 4 or more letters or numbers in a
row. I was thinking that this should work, but it's matching whether
there's 3 or more letters in a row or not:
cfset mystring = waalt
cfif REFindNoCase([0-9a-z]{3},mystring)
hammer time
cfelse
nada
/cfif

It's not a look ahead or a look behind.. I am not sure what the

Maybe someone else here can help with the actual name.

My approach is to do a cookie check and add the CFID/CFTOKEN if they are turned off...but to also do a browser check (cgi.http_user_agent) and exclude any that have a common search engine string in them. That seems to do the trick 95% of the timeand is also useful for generating error messages (or not) as well, since some search engines seem particularly good at coming up with very misformed URLs.

RE: Insert best practice
Victor, I don't think it matters so much. I personally like the second solution better as it is just more readable and I think it will give you more flexibility if you need it (structural flexibility, not logical flexibility). On a personal note, what I would do is param the value to an integer, perhaps Zero then just insert it no matter what. I have issues with the use of NULLs in a database unless absolutely required: http://www.bennadel.com/blog/85-Why-NULL-Values-Should-Not-Be-Used-in-a- Database-Unless-Required.htm But, that is just me and I don't know your particular situation. In my experience though, I would rather work with ZERO than with NULL. Plus, on the output, zero can be converted to a boolean, where as an empty string cannot (the ColdFusion representation of a NULL value pulled out of a query). My 2 cents. ..

Ray, I don't think there is any real difference. I am just grouping my characters [_12]+ and noting that at least one item (+) is required for the match. He is just listing them as being OR'd.

Rob, Exactly, no real practical difference here. The only place it becomes more practical one way or the other is when the situation gets more complicated.

RE: Error 0 - java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
In standard SQL, I know that when you do a SELECT COUNT() you ALWAYS get back a row. However, in ColdFusion query of queries, if you do a SELECT COUNT() on a table that has no rows, the query -of-queries table actually does not return any rows. It is possible that you are expecting a value of 0 (zero) as the count, but in fact, the query of queries has a record count of Zero?? .. Ben Nadel Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer www.bennadel.com -Original Message- From: Loyd Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2006 3:02 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Error 0 - java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException I'm querying data that is contained in either a current table, SHIP_HIST, or an archive table, SHIP_HIST_ARC. There is a view setup on the server, SHIP_HIST_VIEW, that does a union on both tables so if a user wants to query both old and new data they may. A nightly stored procedure moves records from current to archive tables based on age, so there is no duplication of records between the two tables. The current table is kept fairly small so most queries can be done quickly. The current version of the report I am working on always queries the view, regardless of what dates the user is looking for. This is a very slow process due to the large number of records in the view. In order to speed up the queries, I am running a quick query to determine the oldest date in the current table, and as a result of that I name a variable TableName. If the begin and end dates the user is looking for are entirely within the current table, TableName is SHIP_HIST. If the begin and end dates are both before the oldest date in the current table, the TableName variable is SHIP_HIST_ARC. If the begin and end dates span the oldest date in the current table, then I name TableName SHIP_HIST_VIEW. This query works fine every time. Then, I run queries against this initial query to get some subtotals and grand totals. My problem is that when the initial query is run against either SHIP_HIST or SHIP_HIST_VIEW, it runs fine. If the initial query is run against the SHIP_HIST_ARC table, ColdFusion throws an error; The header on the debug page is Error Occurred While Processing Request. The data is a single zero (0). Below that is the area that shows the filename where the error occurs and then show where this data is being called from. I have all the queries in separate files so the error is occurring in ShipHist5.qry. Here is the text of that query: CFQUERY NAME=#QueryName# DBType=query SELECT count(distinct mst_ship_num) AS mst_shp_tot_qty FROM ShipHist /CFQUERY As I said, it runs fine when the initial query is run against either the current table or the view, but not the archive table. It would make more sense to me if the error came from Oracle, but it is a CF error. Down in the Exceptions area of debug here is the error message: Exceptions 13:37:54.054 - java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException - in D:\inetpub\wwwroot\dev\DMPlusReports\queries\ShipHist5.qry : line 12 0 Can anyone make any sense of this error? I have used the same technique to speed up other reports that were originally written against the view and have had no problems. This one has me stumped.

RE: URL Parameter
Jon , I am a fairly low-level programmer, and by that I mean I never do any server work or deal with IIS logging or anything of that sort. That is why I am strongly opposed to things like Mapped Paths and installing java classes in the java class path... Most of the time I don't have access to that sort of stuff. Most of my work revolves around creating slick solutions for people with very little access to stuff. This of course requires having someone set up an IIS 404 handler, but that is fairly simple to do. That being said, I didn't even know about IIS and 404 error logging :D ..

RE: Best use for createODBCdate(), cfqueryparam CF_SQL_DATE vs. CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
Not every DB supports every CFQueryParam cfsqltype. For instance, I used to use _DATE in MS SQL Server, but then one day it started throwing errors on SQL Server 2005. If you look in the documentation, it will show you how everything maps. _TIMESTAMP is supported by MS SQL Server. As far as CreateODBCDate() and CreateODBCDateTime()... Not sure how important they are. If you use CFQueryParam, I believe the tag will format things properly for you. I guess you could use CreateODBCDate() if you wanted to pass a Date/time object with zerod out time. But then again, I don't know if there is any advantage to doing that over just formatting the value you pass to the tag. I imagine that CreateODBCDate() type functions are used mainly for databases that do not allow data binding and therefore do not allow CFQueryParam?? More of a backwards compatability thing...

As far as with is better Not sure. Personally, I never use CreateODBCDate() or CreateODBCDateTime(). If your database supports CFQueryParam tag, I would recommend that one. It has several advantages in terms of query performance. Ex. I would do WHERE date_created = cfqueryparam value=#Now()# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP / Instead of ... WHERE date_created = #CreateODBCDateTime( Now() )# In fact, if you are using Now(), you wouldn't even need the CreateODBCDateTime() method call as Now() is already ODBC time stamp.

I'm confused. If the 'Timeout requests after XX seconds' setting in CFAdmin is set to 60 seconds and a request (for us almost always a database request) takes longer than 60 seconds I get a message in the CF logs that 'The unresponsive thread count is up to X.' When the request completes I get a message that 'The unresponsive thread count is down to X.' and another message that the offending template ran x seconds. I thought the purpose of the time out setting in CFAdmin was to free up the offending thread once the time out limit had been reached. But the log file message implies that the thread is kept open until the request returns from the database at which time it is then terminated and freed up. Is this maybe two types of time outs - CF processing time outs vs. database request time outs? And what I describe above is CF practicing good database request housekeeping? Does it make sense that 1) if a thread is kept open until the request returns from the database, even if that request goes beyond the time out setting in CFAdmin, and 2) if the CF processing on the returned answer set is at most a couple of seconds, it would make sense to not time out these database requests?

RE: Locking Theory
In my opinion, only use CFLock when you care if the race condition matters. Take setting SESSION values for instance. Let's say you have the following code: cfset SESSION.FirstName = qUser.first_name / This would NOT require a lock. Yes, it's shared data. Yes you could have conflicts.

Query of Queries type cast error
Hey all, I was just working on some query of queries code that used a manually value-modified query when I got this error: Error casting an object of type to an incompatible type. This usually indicates a programming error in Java, although it could also mean you have tried to use a foreign object in a different way than it was designed. I have gotten this error before, and I know I have seen other people post about it. This is really frustrating, BUT, I just happened to figure out that this can be solved using JavaCast().

Hello,
I'm trying to replace my inline style with an external style sheet.
I have:
body bgcolor=#ff text=#00 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0
marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 background=images/form_bkg.gif
which displays fine
if I replace with:
body class=signform
and in signform.css I have
body.signform{margin:0px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0px; background: #ff;
background-image: url (images/form_bkg.gif)}
the background image is not displayed. I know that the style sheet is being
used because if I change the background color to something else that the
color on the form changes, but whatever I do I cannot get the background
image to display and I have run out of ideas.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

I say go really really simple. At the bottom of the article page include
some javascript like this:
script type=text/javascript
setTimeout(
// Function to get called after 60 seconds.
function(){
var imgRequest = new Image();
imgRequest.src =
reward_user.cfm?id=#...#article_id=#...#key=#Hash( SESSION.CFID
SESSION.CFTOKEN id article_id )#
},
// Run after 60 seconds
60 * 1000
);
/script
This would, after 60 seconds, create an image and then try to set it's
source to a CFM page. This would in essence call that CFM page. The image
would break (or you could return a gif based on CFContent). The
reward_user.cfm page would reward the user based on the user id (id), the
article id (article_id) and a key (the HASH value). The HASH value is meant
to help stop anyone else from guessing a reward URL. Then on the
reward_user.cfm page, you would want to make sure you never credited someone
twice I suppose.

Subject: CFIdea: how to implement
I have a CFidea and I wanted to seek advice on the best way to implement
it.
I'm concerned that this idea will be taxing on my shared web hosting
server.
After buildinig sites for employors and contracts, I've finally built a
site
for myself.
My site is a news and downloadable magazine (which I sell for $9.95/yr)
THE IDEA
On my site(s), I posts related stories from within my industry. I want
to
reward my readers and build loyalty. I want to reward my readers for
each
story they read with X point(s). As long as they stay on the page for
more
than 10-15 (?) seconds they will be rewarded. I want to track this to
avoid
users from just clicking through stories to get points. Once they
accumulate x number of points, they will receive one of the four issues
for
free. If they collect enough points, they can get an entire year for
free
and earn additional issues beyond their first year or give their points
to
friends or co-workers. When visitors reads stories from my site, my
google
ads are displayed which makes me money. I also want to convey to
potential
advertisers that our we reward our reader base. No other news site
within
this industry does this.
THE CODE
The reader signs up by providing only their e-mail address and confirm
their
e-mail address through an automated reply from my site with a
confirmation
link they must click on.
As an option if they want to earn reward points, I ask them to sign in
with
just their e-mail address to initiate and track their points, then get
the
current time with #CreateODBCDateTime(now())# and store it as a session
variable. When they click and go to another page on the site, even if
it's
not a story, capture the #CreateODBCDateTime(now())# again and compare
the
times and update their profile with X point(s) if the time difference
meets
my x seconds per page criteria. If someone just rapidly clicks from
story to
story to accumalate points, the points will not be counted. If they like
the

RSS feeds and # sign
I just started getting an Xml Parse error on my RSS feed... I narrowed the problem down to the fact that one of the titles had # signs in it. I don't quite understand the error, so I was hoping someone could help me out. I originally had: title#XmlFormat( REQUEST.EntryQuery.name )#/title This caused errors and now I have: title#XmlFormat( Replace( REQUEST.EntryQuery.name, ##, , ALL ) )#/title This seems to be fine. But shouldn't XmlFormat() escape any characters that cause errors. I don't like the idea of having to use Replace() and was hoping someone could point me in the right directions. Thanks! ...

RE: What is the easiest way to get the true length of a list.
Young Jedi,
Be careful with the Java split method... In your example, the length is
indeed 4... However, this:
cfset lst = jedi,homer,,, /
#ArrayLen(lst.split(,))#
Only has TWO array elements. It seems to only count list items until no more
valid items are found. This seems to be confirmed at the bottom of:
http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0438.html
An interesting thing about String.split():
s.split( ) - {,,s}
.split( )- {}
.split( ) - {} (!)
.split( ) - {} (!)
s .split( )- {,,s} (!)
...

You could possibly do something like...
cfset lst = jedi,homer,,rocks /
cfoutput#ArrayLen(lst.split(,))#/cfoutput
Which will output 4 and not 3

Counting all the elements, including the empty ones?
Do I need to modify the list to put some throwaway character to get all
the elements counted, or is there a better way?
For Example: listLen(This is an Element,,) needs to equal 3.

RE: grabbing remote images
I have done some work with CFHTTP...

So the situation is that we MAY be able to get the data we are after, but the way they store images causes us a problem. The images are stored in the file system and the data contains file names. So even if we get the data we don't have the macthing files. We can of course reproduce the URL that the images reside at. So does anyone have an automated method of grabbing those images form a remote URL and saving them to our server's file system? I honsetly can't think of whether or not this is doable via CFHTTP...it's been so long since I used it. Anyways...thanks in advance for any bright ideas.

Yeah, give it a look over. If you think an offline-explorer type situation will not work with your setup, you can certainly jimmy up some CFHttp to save the images. ...

I just want to be clear though this is NOT a site grabbing situation (it's dynamic and AFAIK the desktop apps for site ripping may not work on dynamic sites...I could of course be wrong). We will have the table that contains the image file names. We have the URL that those images can be located at (plus the file name from the table) Combined we can reference the images directly (i.e. www.domainName.com/images/imageNameFromDB) From that I need to be able to save the remote image locally (on our Dev server that is).

My examples were regarding hotlinking, but the issue is the same... Grab the image URL as a binary return object... Then you can either save it yourself...

RE: cfquery: search numeric IN/Contains/Like
Paul, I am not sure if you want to get the subset to match in the DB or in the CF variable??? You could always loop over the WHERE items. SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE 1 = 0 cfloop index=i list=#FORM.search# OR CAST( ClientID AS VARCHAR(12)) LIKE '%i%' /cfloop The above will match PART of the search form in the FULL id in the database. I guess you might be able to go the other way as well: SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE 1 = 0 cfloop index=i list=#FORM.search# OR 'i' LIKE '%' + CAST( ClientID AS VARCHAR(12)) + '%' /cfloop This will match part of the database ID in the search form...
