creating your own functions in cold fusion
There was an email (either here or fusebox list) about creating your own functions in cold fusion. Does anyone know where the article explaining it is because I have moved jobs and lost all my archives of CF-Talk.

How about IsSocial to determine if the number is a Social Security Number.

Please
respond to
cf-talk
OK, I need some community input here. For my article on custom functions,
I've written one for IsEmail and IsPhone. Can people send me a few others
to
'add in'. I'd like the article to have a few pre-built functions that can
be
used right off the bat. The only limits are that they must be built using
functions in CF. No tags. For example, IsPhone uses this code:
REFindNoCase('([0-9]{3}[-_. /]?)?[0-9]{3}[-_. /]?[0-9]{4}', number)

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion
Currently.. as a language that is one of ColdFusions weaknesses.
There are pretty much two ways to get functions out of ColdFusion..
The first is to encapsulate all the code in a Template and then
just CFINCLUDE the template.. the disadvantage is the page
does not have its own scope and can easily modify variables
that do not belong to it and kind of makes development more
tedious if you are not extremely careful.
The second method is Custom Tags.. Which in effect serve
as functions and get their own 'call space' all the variables
in a custom tag have their own scope etc, however doing
a call with a Custom Tag is a bigger penality hit than
a regular function in a regular procedural language
sucha s C/C++.. In fact its a big concern if performance
is an issue.
If you are really interested I recommend checking out the
Fusebox methodology as code reuse can be pretty high in a
big app written in Fusebox..
http://www.fusebox.com
Hope this helps..

Re: Functions in Cold Fusion
Cold Fusion doesn't have functions as you'd know them in Java. It has the built-in functions, of course. Cold Fusion achieves "function functionality" through custom tags.

functions in CF. No tags. For example, IsPhone uses this code:
REFindNoCase('([0-9]{3}[-_. /]?)?[0-9]{3}[-_. /]?[0-9]{4}', number)
Should that be named "IsUSAPhone" so as not to offend our illustrious

Re: Functions in Cold Fusion
Very true. I've got a version that covers all phone numbers, but I was
giving a simple example. The point is, if you've got some snippets or code
that you would like in a custom function, send it to me off list.
functions in CF. No tags. For example, IsPhone uses this code:
REFindNoCase('([0-9]{3}[-_. /]?)?[0-9]{3}[-_. /]?[0-9]{4}', number)
Should that be named "IsUSAPhone" so as not to offend our illustrious
international friends?

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion

Have you seen a good regex for validating URLs lately? It's *nasty*. See:
http://www.foad.org/~abigail/Perl/url2.html
Or, if you're the type of person who skips to the end, the regex can be
found here:
http://www.foad.org/~abigail/Perl/url3.regex
It's a bit more than 7500 characters long. :) However, I think that it
would make an *excellent* test of CF's regex engine. Of course you'd have
to translate from perl-style regexs to CF-style regexs, but it should be
possible.

Re: Functions in Cold Fusion
IsComplexDate()
=)
THis one will check if the date is in the form "mm/dd/yy" or "dd/mm/yy" or
"dd/mmm/"
depending on what the user enters :)
IsMediumDate(#startdate#, "dd-mmm-")
This will be true if startdate = "02-Jan-2000"
etc. etc.
And we have to be able to use it in OnValidate routines for CFINPUT tags
It's really simple.
I'd be willing to Beta Test it too.

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion
(Because I know that if I didn't take the challenge then someone else
would...)
The perl regex for *HTTP URLs only* is:
(?:http://(?:(?:(?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d](?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d]|-)*[a-zA-Z\d])?)\.)*(?:[
a-zA-Z](?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d]|-)*[a-zA-Z\d])?))|(?:(?:\d+)(?:\.(?:\d+)){3}))(?::(?
:\d+))?)(?:/(?:(?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d$\-_.+!*'(),]|(?:%[a-fA-F\d]{2}))|[;:@=])*
)(?:/(?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d$\-_.+!*'(),]|(?:%[a-fA-F\d]{2}))|[;:@=])*))*)(?:\?(
?:(?:(?:[a-zA-Z\d$\-_.+!*'(),]|(?:%[a-fA-F\d]{2}))|[;:@=])*))?)?)
CF doesn't support the "?:" operator (don't back-ref) or the "\d" escape
sequence (digit), so those needed to be taken out. I wanted to make it a
bit more readable so I translated to POSIX classes where appropriate. The
resulatant CF-style regex is:
(http://([[:alnum:]](([[:alnum:]]|-)*[[:alnum:]])?)\.)*([[:alpha:]](([[:
alnum:]]|-)*[[:alnum:]])?))|(([[:digit:]]+)(\.([[:digit:]]+)){3}))(:([[:digi
t:]]+))?)(/[a-zA-Z0-9$\-_.+!*'(),~]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[;:@=])*)(/((([
a-zA-Z0-9$\-_.+!*'(),]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[;:@=])*))*)(\?((([a-zA-Z0-9$\-_
.+!*'(),]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[;:@=])*))?)?)
Since the entire thing is wrapped in parens, you can then use it in
REReplace and backref it with \1. This leads to interesting uses:
IsURL(foo) = REFind(URLRegEx,foo)
URLify(foo) = REReplace(foo,URLRegEx,'A HREF="\1"\1/A',"ALL")
Notes:
- This doesn't take into account user/password info in the URL, like
(http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/). I'm pretty sure this is legal, but it may not
be.
- This is for HTTP URLs only. If you want others and don't have the RegEx
skills, let me know and I can whip something up for you.
- I added in the tilde character for path information, as while it isn't
technically legal it is used quite a bit.
I did test this and it worked like a champ. Go CF! :)

Re: Functions in Cold Fusion
Many others have addressed creating CF functions, so I'll just bite off the part of calling java classes. In CF 4.5, allaire introduced the ability to call java classes directly with the CFOBJECT tag. The biggest trick, is getting the correct jvm path into the CFAdministrator, which involves referencing the jvm.dll directly, rather than referencing the directory in which it resides.

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion
It would also help to add position matching characters such as ^ and $. This
would prevent additional information from being passed along the URL. As
this regex stands additional information could be passed either before or
after a matched URL, without throwing any errors. I also added the ability
to accept an optional 's' for HTTPS URLs. I'm thinking about the
username/password part but, it will take more than a second to whip out.

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion
Hmm...a very interesting proposition. How about the following:
ArrayFind()
ArrayFindNoCase()
ArrayContains()
ArrayContainsNoCase()
In regards to your requirements, I imagine the ColdFusion function
ArrayToList() could be used in conjunction with the respective list
functions to "mimic" the functionality of the aforementioned functions.

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion
[Steve Bernard]
It would also help to add position matching characters such as
^ and $. This would prevent additional information from being
passed along the URL.
A good idea for an IsURL()-type function, but not for a URLify() or
FindURL() -type function, where the URL could be in the middle of the
string.
I also added the ability to accept an optional 's' for HTTPS URLs.
Excellent. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks. :)
I'm thinking about the username/password part but, it will take
more than a second to whip out.
Not a problem, especially if you know perl and can mess with the
already-provided generator. :) I also fixed a couple other
perl-to-cf-conversion quirks. (I didn't realize that CF doesn't escape
hyphens in the middle of character classes, you have to put them at the
front.)
I think that puts us at:
(https?://([-$_.+[:alnum:]!*'(),]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[;?=])*)(:((([-a-
zA-Z0-9$_.+!*'(),]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[;?=])*))?@)?([[:alnum:]](([[:al
num:]]|-)*[[:alnum:]])?)\.)*([[:alpha:]](([[:alnum:]]|-)*[[:alnum:]])?))|(([
[:digit:]]+)(\.([[:digit:]]+)){3}))(:([[:digit:]]+))?))(/[-a-zA-Z0-9$_.+
!*'(),~]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[;:@=])*)(/((([-a-zA-Z0-9$_.+!*'(),~]|(%[[:xdi
git:]]{2}))|[;:@=])*))*)(\?((([-a-zA-Z0-9$_.+!*'(),~]|(%[[:xdigit:]]{2}))|[
;:@=])*))?)?)
Anyone or anything else?

RE: Functions in Cold Fusion
[Benjamin S. Rogers] [How about the following:] Aiight. Devil's Advocate here, but if you're trying to hack search functions for your arrays, you're probably not doing it right. But, that's just my opinion. However, just as an exercise for the old noggin ... Solutions when you do it infrequently: ArrayFind(myArray,myString) = ListFind(ArrayToList(myArray,Chr(1)),myString,Chr(1)) ArrayFindNoCase(myArray,myString) = ListFindNoCase(ArrayToList(myArray,Chr(1)),myString,Chr(1)) ArrayContains(myArray,myString) = ListContains(ArrayToList(myArray,Chr(1)),myString,Chr(1)) ArrayContainsNoCase(myArray,myString) = ListContainsNoCase(ArrayToList(myArray,Chr(1)),myString,Chr(1)) NOw, if you are doing quite a number of lookups, in a loop for example, I suggest you go with something a bit more efficient: !--- Do this part once --- CFSET myArrayLookup=StructNew() CFLOOP FROM="1" TO="#ArrayLen(myArray)#" INDEX="i" CFSET ThisKey=myArray[i] CFIF StructKeyExists(myArrayLookup,ThisKey) CFSET myArrayLookup[ThisKey]=ListAppend(myArrayLookup[ThisKey],i) CFELSE CFSET myArrayLookup[ThisKey]=i /CFIF /CFLOOP !--- These next parts are what you will do over and over, it's lightning fast --- CFIF StructKeyExists(myArrayLookup,ThisKey) CFSET ArrayContains=True CFSET ArrayPositions=myArrayLookup[ThisKey] CFELSE CFSET ArrayContains=False CFSET ArrayPositions=0 /CFIF -Rick -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: Functions in Cold Fusion
Thanks for making this function Michael, but can I please pass this
BEGGING PLEA .
cf_soapbox
If you want people outside the USA to fill in this form, DON"T use this
function Most countries use a different numbering system to the USA.
They don't fit into this pattern. Some places don't even have area
codes. And if they do have area codes, they aren't all 3 numbers.
The dutch for example, use a 99 99 99 99 pattern. Here in Australia we
use (99) or 999 999. Then this isn't much use without the
country code. So the international format for an Australian number is
99-9--.
THerefore, if you use Michael's function, and someone from outside the USA
fills in your form, you're going to have information that looks like it's
valid, but isnt.
The worst case of this I have found was a famous international software
company I bought some software from a year or so ago. Their form required
me to give them a zip code, a us-style phone number and -believe it or not
- a social security number. I had to keep trying the form inventing
numbers until it was happy with the numbers I'd made up. It didn't like
our 4 digit postcodes, so I had to use a 5 digit one I saw on an ad in an
American magazine. It didn't like my 8 digit phone number, so I gave it a
number from another ad in the same magazine, and I had my brother's social
security number, so I changed it and tinkered around with it until the
form was happy with my fictional details.
Just my plea for keeping the Internet International.

using

a
hack and can look ugly in places, but it works. The result is that I can
have something like IsValidEmail(email) and it'll return a value that says

Re: Functions in Cold Fusion
Thanks for mentioning that, I know exactly how you feel!
I'm from New Zealand, and there are some sites that have New Zealand as a
selectable country in their drop-downs, but still require a state and zip-code.
What's worse is that some sites seem to check that the zip-code is appropriate
for the location you selected, and then you're really screwed - unless of course
you choose the only zip-code your know - Beverly Hills 90210 ;)

ROFL. Thanks! best, paul At 01:53 PM 8/2/00 +1000, you wrote: Yes, its a huge party line. My allotted time on the phone is 4:02am - 4:07am Wednesdays, unless it's a police or fire emergency in which case I have 5:15am-5:17am Saturdays as well. And since the numbers are all 9s, it cuts the manufacturing costs of the handsets a whole bunch. And our phone directories are just a sheet of A4 paper instead of those big books. You can fold them up and put them in your pocket. Or some people commit the entire directory of two numbers to memory and dont need it at all.
