Example
This example creates a file with information a user entered in an HTML insert form:
<cffile action = "write"
file = "c:\files\updates\#Form.UpdateTitle#.txt"
output = "Created By: #Form.FullName#
Date: #Form.Date#
#Form.Content#">
If the user submitted a form with the following:
UpdateTitle = "FieldWork"
FullName = "World B. Frueh"
Date = "10/30/01"
Content = "We had a wonderful time in Cambridgeport."
ColdFusion would create a file named FieldWork.txt in the c:\files\updates\ directory and the file
would contain the following text:
Created By: World B. Frueh
Date: 10/30/01
We had a wonderful time in Cambridgeport.
This example shows the use of the
permissions rw-r--r-- (owner = read/write, group = read, other = read):
<cffile action = "write"
file = "/tmp/foo"
mode = 644>
This example appends to the file and sets permissions to read/write (rw) for all:
