Re: cf file write
Prepend? No built-in way, which is a shame. This is how I'd do it: 1) read the file to a variable. 2) prepend the data to the variable data 3) write the variable data to a new temp file 4) delete the original file 5) rename the temp file to the name of the original file This is inelegant and I'd think slow. It might be OK if you weren't hitting it much, but under load I'd think it would be a bad idea.

RE: cf file write
Why would you need to write to a temp file, erase the orig, and rename the temp? If you use cffile with th write command, it will overwrite the old data. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: cf file write
hnot sure you can write a CFM file, but you may be able to write it as a TXT file and then rename it to a CFM file (just athought...haven't tested it) Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
