<cffile>

[PackinDaMAC]

I want to know if the <cffile> tag creates a file then writes the inforation to it...Because when i run my application it does not right the values of my varibles to the msg.txt which is my file and i dont know why....Is there something i am doing wrong.....

What happens if you hardcode it for testing?

<cffile action="write" file="D:\PhoneReminder\msg.txt" output="This is a test">

does it create the file? if not then you may have a permissions issue.

Also try outputing the variables to see if they are even being defined first. If not, then it will not create it either.

<cffile action="write" file="c:\msg.txt" output="This is a Test">

No this does not create a file and it does not write anything if i create it before i execute my web app......any help

As about your first example, it is wrong. You cannot use <cffile action="write"... inside a loop, since action"write" creates a new file every time. You need to take <cffile action="write"... out of the loop and create, let's say an empty file. Use <cffile action="append"... inside the loop.

"No this does not create a file and it does not write anything if i create it before i execute my web app......any help"

Kinda difficult to understand the meaning of this. If file is not created, you should get an error, at least....

You right Mr.Black i dont get an error but the page still loads.....The comment was stated before due to the fact that i changed my ouput to "This is a test " and it worked fine....How do i make sure all my varibles are defined when they are ready to be used?????

I have a <input type="checkbox" name="mcall"> my page looks like this in the browser
<table>
<tr>

<td>Name Address State checkbox</td>
<td>Name Address State checkbox</td>
<td>Name Address State checkbox</td>

</tr>
</table>
Now I want to check the checkbox's and write to a file only the <td> that are checked....I know it can go like

<cfif mcall.checked = true>
<cffile action = "write" file="c:\msg.txt" addnewline="yes" output="What should be my ouput???????">

But i am not sure how to structure the code syntax any help would be great ...or any place where i can find help would be great too thanks
