CFFUNCTION question

I am trying to run a function like:
<cfoutput>#F_name#</cfoutput>
<CFFUNCTION NAME="F_name">
... generates some tables and reports ...
</cffunction>
Instead of the tables, I have a coded string of characters.
Am I missing something here ?
Should the function be in CF component ?
Thanks for help !

If your function generates output, then the below would work.
<cfoutput>#F_name()#</cfoutput>
But I'm guessing you're not generating output and just doing
calculations, you need to return the value using something like
<cffunction name="F_name">
<cfset a = 1>
<cfset b = 2>
<cfreturn a + b>
</cffunction>

How to delete 1st 2 rows in a csv/excel file?

Hi,
Is there a way to read a csv file and delete the 1st 2 rows (or any no. of rows I would like to)?
I'm currently using Ben Nadel's GREAT piece of code (Parsing CSV Values into a Coldfusion query) found at http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:501.view as follows:

<cffile action="read" file="#variables.uploadedFile#" variable="csvResult">

<cfinvoke component="components.csvToQuery" method="CSVToQuery" returnvariable="qCsvData">
 <cfinvokeargument name="CSV" value="#trim(variables.csvResult)#">
 <cfinvokeargument name="FirstRowIsHeadings" value="true">
</cfinvoke>
I need to manipulate qCsvData to delete the 1st 2 rows.
Any ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks and regards,

Hi Joseph,
Thanks again for your brilliant answer!
I still need you help by the way, if you don't mind, of course!
I've based myself on your logic and tried to implement it differently.
(apologies if it's a bit complicated. it's almost 1 o'clock in the morning here, and sleep is getting over...)
Here is what I've done:
Now, I know that I need to ignore the 1st 2 rows, which means, my headers in fact start on the 3rd row.
I've created my column names dynamically and then added rows to my query object.
<cffunction name="removeRecords" returntype="Query" output="false" description="I remove records from a query.">
 <cfargument name="queryObject" type="Query" required="true" hint="Query to remove records from" />
 
 <cfset var myQry = QueryNew("")>
 <cfset var i = 0>
 <cfset var j = 0>
 <cfset var columnName = "">
 <cfset var columnList = "">
 <cfset var tempList = arguments.queryObject.columnList>
 
 <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#arguments.queryObject.recordcount#">
 
 <cfif i gt 2>
 <cfif i eq 3>
 
 <cfloop index="j" from="1" to="#listLen(tempList)#">
 <cfset item = ListGetAt(tempList,j)>
 
 <cfset columnName = replaceNoCase(trim(arguments.queryObject[item][i])," ","_","All")>
 
 <cfset columnName = replaceNoCase(trim(columnName),"/","_","All")>
 
 <cfset QueryAddColumn(myQry,columnName,"cf_sql_varchar",ArrayNew(1))>
 
 <cfset columnList = columnList & columnName & ",">
 </cfloop>
 
 <cfset columnList = left(columnList,len(columnList)-1)>
 <cfelse>
 
 <cfset QueryAddRow(myQry)>
 <cfloop index="j" from="1" to="#listLen(tempList)#">
 <cfset item = ListGetAt(tempList,j)>
 <cfset fieldValue = trim(arguments.queryObject[item][i])>
 <cfset col = listGetAt(columnList,j)>
 <cfset QuerySetCell(myQry,col,fieldValue)>
 </cfloop>
 </cfif>
 </cfif>
 </cfloop>
 <cfreturn myQry>
</cffunction>
Question:
Is there a simpler way to do the following?
<cfset columnName = replaceNoCase(trim(arguments.queryObject[item][i])," ","_","All")>
<cfset columnName = replaceNoCase(trim(columnName),"/","_","All")>
I'm trying to replace all blank spaces and any "/" between words with an "_".
I know we can use Regular Expressions to do it much simpler, but I'm not very familiar with the syntax.
I'd be grateful if you could please provide me with the correct syntax.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Yogesh

Cffunction returntype question

I've got a function (below) in a CFC that executes a stored
procedure. The procedure has 2 input parameters and a single output
parameter. I want to cfoutput the value of the output parameter in
the procedure. The procedure does it's job in CF if I don't return
the output parameter. I keep having problems with the
returnvariable type. I've output returntypes of query in the past
without any problem, but never a single calculated value. The value
being output by the procedure is a long integer.

<cffunction name="myFunctTest" hint="ProcedureTest"
returntype="??????">
<cftry>
<cfstoredproc procedure="myProc" username='#this.user#'
password='#this.pass#' datasource='#this.dSource#'>
<cfprocparam type="Out" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"
variable="OutputID">
<cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER"
value='#this.par1#' dbvarname="myPar1">
<cfprocparam type="In" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"
value='#this.par2#'dbvarname="myPar2">
</cfstoredproc>
<cfcatch type="any">
<cfreturn "Error in Function...">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfreturn ??????>
</cffunction>

<cfinvoke component="cfc.myCFC" method="myFunctTest"
returnvariable="??????">
<cfinvokeargument name="user" value="#myUser#">
<cfinvokeargument name="pass" value="#MyPass#">
<cfinvokeargument name="dSource" value="#myDSource#">
<cfinvokeargument name="par1" value="#Form.MyPar1#">
<cfinvokeargument name="par2" value="#Form.MyPar2#">
</cfinvoke>
Thanks in advance
Roy.

Combine,
Are your stored procedure parameters defined in the same
order you are using them in your CFSTOREDPROC tag? Bear in mind
that the dbvarname attribute is ignored in CF6+.

Newbie question about component and UDF usage.

This will be the 1st time I'm coding a component and UDF. I
kind of understand the concept but not sure about how to write it
in detail.Such as passing the parameter, etc.
I'm starting to write a user login, verifying users before
allowing them to enter into the app.
So I have 2 fields in my login form, Login and password.
Upon submitting this form, on the actionpage.cfm I'm calling
a component. This is how I call the component:
<CFINVOKE Component="cfc/loginaction"
Method="AuthentiCateUser" ReturnVariable="UserInfo">
Then in my Component I have the following:
<CFCOMPONENT>
<CFFUNCTION Name="AuthentiCateUser" RETURNTYPE="Query"
hint="Use for user login">
<CFARGUMENT Name="login" Type="Structure"
Required="true">
<CFARGUMENT Name="password" Type="Structure"
Required="true">

<CFQUERY NAME="Authenticate" DATASOURCE="sendfast">
SELECT * FROM tblcustomer WHERE Login = '#Login#' AND
Password = '#Password#'
</CFQUERY>
<CFRETURN AuthentiCateUser>
</CFFUNCTION>
</CFCOMPONENT>
When I run this code, I got error, it said :
The parameter LOGIN to function AuthentiCateUser is required
but was not passed in.
The error occurred in
C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\KDt_Mod\userloginaction.cfm: line 18
16 : <CFSET
UserLoginInfo["Password"]="#Form.Password#"> 17 : 18 :
<CFINVOKE Component="cfc/loginaction" Method="AuthentiCateUser"
ReturnVariable="UserInfo">
19 :
My question is:
What should I do in order to pass #Form.Login# and
#Form.Password# to my UDF within my component?
I'm using CFMX 6 and Micrisift SQL 8

I've applied cfinvokeargument and my login and password were
passed to my component.
But I'm facing new problem: Where should I write my
authentication? should I write user authentication within my
component or
loginaction.cfm (the calling template)
What I mean by authentication is something like this:
<CFIF #Authenticate.RecordCount# IS NOT 0>
<cfset session.CustomerID
="#Authenticate.customerid#">
<cfset session.Name ="#Authenticate.Name#">
<CFCOOKIE NAME="UserLoginIn"
VALUE="12345_pn#Authenticate.customerid#">
<cflocation url="index.cfm?loc=home">
<CFELSE>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert("Username/password is not found, plese try again");
history.go(-1);
</script>
<cfabort>
</CFIF>
If I keep this code in my loginaction.cfm what is returned
from my function is not recognized by the component, the error said
Authenticate.RecordCount is not recognized.
Also I'm still confuse with what should I put in the
RETURNTYPE. If I put query, it gave me error, also, what is
returned by CFRETURN.
This is my component:
<CFCOMPONENT>
<CFFUNCTION Name="AuthentiCateUser" RETURNTYPE="Query"
hint="Use for user login">
<CFARGUMENT Name="login" Type="Structure"
Required="true">
<CFARGUMENT Name="password" Type="Structure"
Required="true">

<CFQUERY NAME="Authenticate" DATASOURCE="sendfast">
SELECT * FROM tblcustomer WHERE Login = '#Login#' AND
Password = '#Password#'
</CFQUERY>
<CFRETURN AuthentiCateUser>
</CFFUNCTION>
</CFCOMPONENT>

ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm ResultHandler Question

I am developing an CF Ajax based solution in which I use
ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm to pass form values to a CFC for
processing via Java Script. My question is related to the Java
Script resultHandler and whether or not there is an easy way to
return the results from the CFC to handler.
My Java Script looks like this...
function InsertRec() {
ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm('MyForm',
'service.cfc?method=InsertRec', resultInsertHandler,
resultErrorHandler);
My CFC looks like this.. (condensed)
<cffunction name="insertRec" access="remote" output="no"
returntype="numeric">
<cfargument name="NAME">
<cfargument name="Phone">
<cfquery name="recInsert" datasource="#request.DS#">
<cfset NEW_NUMBER = updatedNum( )> <-- Getting new #
from another table via CFC
INSERT INTO MYTABLE
(NUMBER, NAME, PHONE)
Values (' #NEW_NUMBER# ' , ' #ARGUMENTS.NAME# ' , '
#ARGUMENTS.PHONE# ' )
</cfquery>
<cfreturn NEW_NUMBER>
</cffunction>
What I'm trying to do is return the value of NEW_NUMBER from
the CFC back to resultInsertHandler so I can use it in a Java
Script alert msg. Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly
appreciated.
Regards
Martin Franklin

Something like this I would presume.
function resultInsertHandler(returnMsg)
alert(returnMsg);

First CFC question

Ok, I'm working on my first CFC, and having some problems.
The code I have
so far is:
<cfcomponent displayname="duplicate" hint="Duplicates

<cffunction name="getinfo"
hint="Gets all tournament info from the database">
<cfquery name="DuplicateTournamentList"

<cfset
NewTournEpee=DuplicateTournamentList.TournEpeeEvent>
<cfset NewType=DuplicateTournamentList.EventType>
<cfset
NewDuplicate=DuplicateTournamentList.TournDuplicated>
<cfquery name="NewTourn" datasource="SalleBoise">

where TournID=#session.tid#
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
And I'm calling it with:
<cfinvoke component="duplicate.cfc" method="getinfo">
And I'm getting:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Could not find the ColdFusion Component or Interface
duplicate.cfc.
Ensure that the name is correct and that the component or
interface exists.

The 1 question I have with your code that is different than
mine is the
query. Mine, I had hoped would take the info from the
previous event,
and add a number of months to it before adding it into the
table.
It looks like yours simple duplicates the event without
changing that
date, correct?

Cffunction valitation error

Hi,
I have a form where I fill a customer-no. into an input field and get the customer name using databinding.
This works fine, but when I put non-numeric values into customer-no I get following error:
Error invoking CFC customer.cfc : The CUST_ID argument passed to the getcustomer function is not of type numeric. [Enable debugging by adding 'cfdebug' to your URL parameters to see more information]
The message is correct, but how can I avoid to run the getcustomer function when the value is not numeric?
Here is my code:
The form:
<cfinput type="text" name="customer_no" style="width:140;background-color:yellow" maxlength="10" validate="integer" validateat="onblur" message="Customer No. format is integer">
<cfinput type="text" name="customer_name" style="width:170" maxlength="200" bind="cfc:customer.getcustomer({customer_no})" readonly="yes">
customer.cfc:
<cfcomponent >
<cffunction name="getcustomer" access="remote" returntype="string" output="yes" >
 <cfargument name="cust_id" type="numeric" required="true" >
 <cfset r_customer = "">
 <cfquery name = "select_customer" dataSource = "x">
 SELECT name
 FROM customer
 WHERE id = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#arguments.cust_id#" >
 </cfquery>
<cfreturn r_customer>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

That is a trick question! The attribute bind="cfc:customer.getcustomer({customer_no})" implies that the function will run automatically, whether or not customer_no is numeric.

Cffunction - Accepting and Returning PDFs in memory

Hello,
This is something that I should probably know by now in my CF career, but up until now I have never thought/had to do this type of thing.
I have defined a couple functions that I would like to handle accepting, manipulating, and returning PDFs in memory. What data types should I be using for accepting and returning the PDF in memory between functions? I would prefer to stay away from "any" if possible, but let me know if that is the only choice.
<cffunction name="AddMeUhWaddaMak" returntype="any" access="public" output="no">
 <cfargument name="src" type="any" required="yes">
 <cfargument name="name" type="string" required="no">
 <cfpdf action="addWatermark"
 source="#arguments.src#"
 name="#arguments.name#"
 ...>
 <cfreturn arguments.name>
</cffunction>

Thanks again for the advice. I was doing a little tinkering around with isPDFObject() just to see how it works and came to another question. See below..
<cfdocument format="pdf" name="test2">
test
</cfdocument>
<cfdump var="#isPDFObject(test2)#"><cfabort>
The result says "NO", even though when I dump out "test2" it shows up as binary.

Cffunction returntype

If I have a cffunction within a cfc that simply does an
update on the DB should I use returntype="void"?
How about not even specifying the returntype?
Thanks!

Tend to agree here - if you havea requirement for strong
typing you probably
shouldn't be using coldfusion. These days, it seems we either
want to work
with dynamic languages or more tradiotonal "compiled"
languages. And the
choice for dynamic languages is usually made on "the need for
speed" at
development time - strong typing would seem to run contrary
to this idea.
Btw - even in compiled languages (java, c#) you can still get
type errors at
runtime - compliler cannot catch them all unfortunately. (eg;
cast errors,
null reference errors)

Javascript inside cffunction

I have a really stupid question, but I need to use some javascript in a cffunction in a cfc.
Is this possible?
I am trying to use google maps geocode to get the latitude and longitude for addresses and it works in a cfm page, but doesn't in the cffunction.
the below converts the data to json and sends it to a cfc, the cfc then write the data to a file.
the overall goal is to call the service and get this information back in cfml if all possible. we are using google maps api v3.
here is my code:
testget.cfm
<cfajaxproxy cfc="cfc.mycfc" jsclassname="gs">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var geocoder;
 geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
 var address = 'your street, your city, your state, your zipcode';
 geocoder.geocode( {address: address}, function(results, status) {
 if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK && results.length) {
 // You should always check that a result was returned, as it is
 // possible to return an empty results object.
 if (status != google.maps.GeocoderStatus.ZERO_RESULTS) {
 var e = new gs();
 var jsonObj = ColdFusion.JSON.encode(results[0].geometry.location);
 var json = e.updateLatLng(jsonObj);
</script>
mycfc.cfc
<cffunction name="updateLatLng" access="remote" >
<cfargument name="latlng" >
<cfset i = deserializeJSON(latlng) >
<cfset lat = i.Yd />
<cfset lng = i.$d />
<cffile action = "write"
file = "C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\dev.zipoodle.com\jsontest.txt"
output = "cfclat = #lat# and cfclng = #lng#" >
</cffunction>

it actually work as a proof of concept of sending the data to the cfc and writing to a text file.
<cffunction name="updateLatLng" access="remote">
<cfargument name="latlng">
<cfset i = deserializeJSON(latlng)>
<cfset lat = i.Yd />
<cfset lng = i.$d />
<cffile action = "write"
file = "C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\dev.zipoodle.com\jsontest.txt"
output = "cfclat = #lat# and cfclng = #lng#">
</cffunction>
This would actually take my geocode results and create a cf variables of lat and lng. I thought then I could use these to update the db.
but I use flex a my application so using the cfm example would only work if I use this in my page and call it from flex. Which is an option, but the problem is getting the data back into flex from the cfc. If I used a cfajaxproxy and set the result handler to come back, then I need a platform to get the results from the cfc back to flex.
Does the geolocation have to occure after the record is created? Is it ok to do it before like you where doing in your first post?
No I would prefer to get this information before creating the record, but I was afraid of the cftransaction waiting on the geocode data to come back...time out... Either way before or after doesn't matter to me, I would prefer before, becuase of a single entry, but I am open for suggestions.

1st UDF and questions

Ok, I got some code working on a page, and would like to now
see about
putting it in a UDF...
The UDF right now looks like:
<cffunction name="classSort" output="false">
<cfargument name="eventType" type="string"
required="yes">
<cfset temp_var=1>
<cfloop list="arguments.eventType" delimiters=","
index="i">
<cfset full_var_temp_var=#i#>
<cfset temp_var=temp_var+1>
</cfloop>
<cfswitch expression="full_var_1">
<cfcase value="f">
<cfif var_temp_2 gte 15>
<cfif rates.C gte 2>
<cfif rates.B gte 2 or rates.D gte 2>
<cfif rates.A gte 2 and rates.B gte 2>
<img src="images/A1.gif" width="94" height="29">
<cfelseif rates.D gte 2 and rates.E gte 2>
<img src="images/C1.gif" width="94" height="29">
<cfelse>
<img src="images/B1.gif" width="94" height="29">
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfcase>
</cfswitch>
</cffunction>
And I'd be passing arguments in the form of functin(f,30)
What I'm trying to do is get the image filename sent back so
I can display
it on the page.
Am I on the right track here???

Well, I changed the function to:
<cffunction name="classSort" output="false">
<cfargument name="eventType" type="string"
required="yes">
<cfif eventType gte 15>
<cfif rates.C gte 2>
<cfif rates.B gte 2 or rates.D gte 2>
<cfif rates.A gte 2 and rates.B gte 2>
<cfset retImage="images/A1.gif">
<img src="images/A1.gif" width="94" height="29">
<cfelseif rates.D gte 2 and rates.E gte 2>
<img src="images/C1.gif" width="94" height="29">
<cfelse>
<img src="images/B1.gif" width="94" height="29">
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfif>
<cfreturn retImage>
</cffunction>
Now my question is, in the code that's calling the function,
the image isn't
displaying..... I tried <img
src="#classSort(foilCount.recordcount)#">
Is that not correct?

Simple CFC question

So I can finally get around to learning proper usage of
cffunctions and CFCs, I'm working on a quick test app to get the
basics down. My question has to do with return types.
For example, I have a function called "updateUser". A form
passes the usual info along with a userID into the function.
If the update is successful, I want to display a message "You
have updated the user."
I'm getting hung up on the return types - specifically the
use of a boolean return. Assuming if the update goes ok, the
boolean return would be true. How can I test for this back on the
update page?
If return type is true - display success message
else if it's false - display an error message
I guess I could put some additional cfreturns in the function
and return a message string, but this just doesn't seem right?

To expand a bit on what Simon mentioned, here's how you might
structure the CFC Method/Function to return a boolean:
<cffunction name="updateUser" access="public"
returntype="boolean">
<cfargument name="userId" type="numeric"
required="true"/>
<cfargument name="username" type="string"
required="true"/>
<cfargument name="email" type="string"
required="true"/>
<cfset updateOk = true />
<cftry>
<cfquery datasource="dsn" name="qryUpdateUser">
update user set username='#arguments.username#' where userId
= #arguments.userId#
</cfquery>
<cfcatch type="database">
<cfset updateOk = false />
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfreturn updateOk/>
</cffunction>
If the query above runs without an error, the value of
updateOk remains true. If there is an error in the DB, the CFCATCH
block will be run, setting the value of updateOk to false.
At the end of the function, the value of updateOk is returned
to the calling page/code block.
Then, with the code Simon provided, you can use this in your
calling page:
<cfif updateUser(userID, name,. email)>
Success
<cfelse>
Failure
</cfif>
Wasn't sure if you were just having trouble on the calling
page (where you want to output the success/failure message or with
how to return the boolean value from the function as well. Hope
this helps.

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

Yes, your understanding is correct.3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks

Satellite P300D-10v - Question about warranty

HI EVERYBODY
I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D-10v.
I did everything I could do to fix it without any success..
I get the latest update of the bios from Toshiba. I cleaned my lap with compressed air first and then disassembled it all and cleaned it better.(it was really clean insight though...)
BUT unfortunately the problem still exists...
So i made a research on the internet and I found out that most of Toshiba owners have the same exactly problem with their laptop.
Well i guess this is a Toshiba bug for many years now.
Its a really nice lap, cool sound (the best in laptop ever) BUT......
So I wanted to make a question. As i am still under warranty, can i return this laptop and get my money back or change it with a different one????
If any body knows PLS let me know.
chears
Thanks in advance

Hi
I have already found you other threads.
Regarding the warranty question;
If there is something wrong with the hardware then the ASP in your country should be able to help you.
The warranty should cover every reparation or replacement.
But I read that you have disasembled the laptop at your own hand... hmmm if you have disasembled the notebook then your warrany is not valid anymore :(
I think this should be clear for you that you can lose the warrany if you disasemble the laptop!
By the way: you have to speak with the notebook dealer where you have purchased this notebook if you want to return the notebook
The Toshiba ASP can repair and fix the notebook but you will not get money from ASP.

i was messing around and came up with this. it doesnt remove the null, but if it is null it adds ABC beside it. so i think i might be getting close. i just need to figure out how to replace the null.
code]
<%=request.getParameter("steptwoFour") %>
 <% if (request.getParameter("steptwoFour") == null ) {
 %>
 <% out.print("abc"); %>
 <% }
 %>
