Question
Output to textfile
Hey all,
I've got a setup on my website where a user uploads a text file, adds that information to a new table, does some manipulations and then send another text file back to the user.
This is my problem- it seems like it takes too long to write the text file and I get a 'Page cannot be displayed' error. Right now I just do a cffile to write the text file and go line by line appending it to the text file.
What I would like to do is try and append all the data from a table to an array and then do one output of the array to the textfile which would save me a lot of time for outputting.
Does anyone know how to put an array of information into a text file? I know how to get it to work with an excel file but I don't know how to add a line break between each record to the textfile.
Does anyone have any suggestions or perhaps another way of doing this?
I appreciate the help.
