What is the best way to create a fixed width text file from results from a CFQUERY? Total file width is 630 characters with lots of whitespace. This is going to be used for EDI.

Thank you.

    Yes. I found the answer. I used a custom tag called FixedWidth that I found on the web somewhere.

    I can post it here

    I noticed no one ever replied to this - did you resolve it on your own?

    Also, I'm planning a project that needs to use EDI. Was there any one or two sources that provided most of your answers?

    Thanks,

    Chris - thanks, I'm sure this will used in the very near future.

    I misphrased my 2nd question. I'm in a disovery mode regarding EDI. I understand the concept, now all I have to do is work up the list of requirements. Currently my client does a minimal number of transactions using a web based form page, that service provider does all of the rest. However, with the anticipated growth, it seems illogical not to automate the process.

    So where does one like myself begin? The vast number of vendors offering EDI VAN certainly aren't going to help me connect any of the dots.

    Thanks,

    Tim
