cffile action=write file as XML. Put spacing in lines, but resave file on mac spaces disappear
I have a very strange issue and need someone to tell me im not crazy. I an querying a database, saving the content , and writing it to an xml file. The formatting is all perfect to the format we had testing the xml file. By the way, flash is reading the XML. The strange part, the application writes the XML file, and the spacing is there. You open the xml with windows, resave it, and try to load it again in flash, same spacing problem. If you open the XML with Mac, resave it exactly the same, reload it to the flash and the spacing is perfect. If you open and resave the XML with mac dreamweaver, it works, otherwise it puts spaces between the lines. here is the code, and a link to the site with spaces. http://blackbeardesign.com/temp/resave-with-mac.jpg http://blackbeardesign.com/temp/save-from-cf-or-windows.jpg !--- get the xml content ready --- cfsavecontent variable=theXml?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE data[ !ELEMENT title (comments, image) !ATTLIST title name CDATA #REQUIRED !ELEMENT comments (#PCDATA) !ELEMENT image (#PCDATA) ] datacfoutput query=data title name=#data.title# comments#data.comments# /comments imageAssets/thumbs/#data.image#/image flv../../Assets/flv/#data.flv#/flv /title /cfoutput /data /cfsavecontent !--- then write the xml --- cffile action=write file=#xmldir#/data.xml output=#theXml# charset=utf-8 ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321653 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

This might be a line-delimiter problem. I believe windows uses both the return and newline characters: \r\n Linux based machines, on the other hand, I think only use one of the them...\n maybe?

Try wrapping the content in a cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace=true Rob On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Ben Nadel b...@bennadel.com wrote: This might be a line-delimiter problem.

Re: cffile action=write file as XML. Put spacing in lines, but resave file on mac spaces disappear
Both very good solutions, but neither is working. I tried doing a replace() while processing, but there is nother there to replace. I tried \r\n, \r. Didnt get an error, but got the same outcome. I also tried supressing white space, with processing directive, same outcome. The generated XML is clean, cant figure out why I would have to open it and save it with a mac thought, it doesnt make sense. the XML ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE data[ !ELEMENT title (comments, image) !ATTLIST title name CDATA #REQUIRED !ELEMENT comments (#PCDATA) !ELEMENT image (#PCDATA) ] data title name=Patient 108 comments2008 48 Hour Film Project Entry Production Company Unit One Productions Director Lauren Giovanonni *Winner of BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY /comments imageAssets/thumbs/108sm.jpg/image flv../../Assets/flv/108.flv/flv /title /data ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321691 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Great idea, but could not get a replace() to work.
