I was running some comparisons with CF9's spreadsheet functions and noticed a small bug with SpreadSheetCreateSheet() . When you omit the sheet name argument, CF automatically generates the sheet's name for you, using the standard naming convention Sheet1 , Sheet2 , etcetera). But apparently CF, …

The very first time I used the ExpandPath() function I remember wondering why there was not a similar function for expanding url's. At some point later, I did sit down and write a very rudimentary ExpandURL function. I have long since forgotten the code. But I do have a vague recollection of an …

Testing the new cfspreadsheet extension for Railo reminded me of an ACF spreadsheet quirk I saw in one of the forums a few weeks back. For some reason, the creation date property is not populated for new binary spreadsheets (ie *.xls). Nor is that property accessible via the SpreadsheetAddInfo …

I was excited to read there is an alpha cfspreadsheet extension available for Railo (Written by Andy Jarrett as a fork of the CFPOI project by Matt Woodward .) As a user of both ACF and Railo I was curious how the two versions of the tag compared. Being lazy, I decided to use the cfspreadsheet …

Being late to the game, I just read about CF9's grouping feature with CFGrids. While it is a useful feature, I immediately noticed there was no option to expand or collapse all groups. After perusing the Ext forums, I discovered methods for expanding or collapsing all groups in the underlying …

A few years ago, I saw a post on the adobe forums about a strange problem with cfhttp . Posting a simple .zip file with <cfhttp> somehow ended up corrupting the file. So the resulting archive file could not be read by some tools, in particular <cfzip>. <!--- With CF8 this code …

After working through the basic formulas in Part 1 , I felt I had a decent grasp of the overall process. So I decided to dive into a java example. From what I have read, there are different implementations. So I looked over a few java examples before choosing what I felt was the simplest: the …

While I have seen references to Diffie-Hellman before, I honestly knew very little about it until this week. After seeing it mentioned on stackoverflow.com , I decided to do some research. Now I am pretty sure this protocol is not available in the standard edition of Adobe ColdFusion, and …

I saw a question about spreadsheets this week that had me scratching my head. When you create a new worksheet in Excel, all of the cells are blank. So if you enter a long string in any cell, the text will overflow into the adjacent cell. (If the adjacent cell is blank.) However, if you do …
