FW: MacBinary Xtraction Component 1.0
Much thanks to you and Dave. I got it working. Now I just need to find some glue so I can stick my hair back on... -Original Message- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 1:00 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: MacBinary Xtraction Component 1.0 Most likely it can, after looking at the source it is a very simple COM object that doesn't return anything that CF might choke on.

MacBinary Xtraction Component 1.0
The guys at this site: http://www.alphasierrapapa.com/IisDev/Components/MacBinary/ , have come up with a C++ component for fixing MacBinary uploaded files. Being an ASP site, they have written an ASP page for running this component. Is there a way of running this component from CF?

You can run many COM objects using the CFOBJECT tag and/or the CreateObject function. Whether this specific COM object will work, I don't know; you'll have to try it and find out.

Re: MacBinary Xtraction Component 1.0
Most likely it can, after looking at the source it is a very simple COM object that doesn't return anything that CF might choke on. The key function is the ConvertMacFile function. In that function these two lines would be key, and they would look exactly the same in cfscript without the Set keyword, and adding semicolons. Set MacBin = CreateObject(Softwing.MacBinary) bRetVal = MacBin.ConvertFromMacBinary(File,strCurrentTempFile) CreateObject in VBScript does the same thing as cfscript's CreateObject. The second line is calling the ConvertFromMacBinary method with the uploaded filename as the first argument, and a temporary filename to write out the actual file minus the MacBinary stuff. It goes on to overwrite the original uploaded file with the temporary file as long as the COM object didn't return an error. Thanks for pointing this component out, new bookmark for me... As a side note, that has to be the most readable VBScript I have ever seen (still sucks though :)) . Kudos to them... jon - Original Message - From: Lon Lentz [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 13, 2002 12:36 PM Subject: MacBinary Xtraction Component 1.0 The guys at this site: http://www.alphasierrapapa.com/IisDev/Components/MacBinary/ , have come up with a C++ component for fixing MacBinary uploaded files.
