I have
<cfset DateToday = "#now()#" />
<cfdump var = "#DateToday#" />
Which gives me:
{ts '2014-04-28 15:37:52'}
How can I change it to give me to 'April 28,2014'?
I would think I would have to use convert to char?
Try this
#DateTimeFormat(DateToday, "mmmm d, yyyy")#

I have a set of list values in ColdFusion variable, and I need to replace all the list values into desired text.
For Example:
<cfset headerColumnList = "FirstName,LastName,Email,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing">
<cfset a="test1">
<cfset b="test2">
<cfset c="test3">
<cfset d="test4">
<cfset e="test5">
<cfset f="test6">
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list= "#headerColumnList#" delimiters = ",">
<cfoutput>
#replaceList("#ListElement#","FirstName,LastName,Email,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing","#a#,#b#,#c#,#d#,#e#,#f#",",")#
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
Output:
test1
test2
test3
test4
test5
Time Stamp test3 Marketing
In the above scenario. The value "Time Stamp Email Marketing" is supposed to be replaced with "test6" but I am getting in an alternative way where it is not replacing the phrase as a whole word. Can anyone tell me how do I replace the list phrases, any alternative for this?
Here you can use the ListQualify function to get exact result of an your scenario. So convert it in to qualify values and looping with that then you can replace it with your own list data. No need to change any order of a list values.
<cfset quoted = listQualify(headerColumnList,"''")>
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list= "#quoted#" delimiters = ",">
#replaceList(ListElement,quoted,"#a#,#b#,#c#,#d#,#e#,#f#")#
<br/>
</cfloop>
The code is working as written. You are seeing this because your check for "Email" in the replaceList() function is firing before the check for "Time Stamp Email Marketing". Notice the word "Email" in that string.
I don't know what your actual use case is but you can change the order of your code for this specific example to make it work like you want.
<cfset headerColumnList = "FirstName,LastName,Email,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing">
<cfset a="test1">
<cfset b="test2">
<cfset c="test3">
<cfset d="test4">
<cfset e="test5">
<cfset f="test6">
<cfloop index = "ListElement" list= "#headerColumnList#" delimiters = ",">
<cfoutput>
#replaceList("#ListElement#","FirstName,LastName,FrequentGuestID,IP Address,Time Stamp Email Marketing,Email","#a#,#b#,#d#,#e#,#f#,#c#",",")#
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
This gives the desired output. Notice how I reordered the conditions within the replaceList() function.
I have a variable that has more than one value in it. The output of the list is like this:
Output1, Output2, Output3, Output4, Output5
I use the the <cfset varpo = "#output#">
How can I convert this output to a select box with the value of each options same as the name.
Ps: The output list is automatically gotten from the server in that format.
It's like I haven't seen any answered question to this because none worked.
<cfset list= "Output1, Output2, Output3, Output4, Output5" />
<cfset arr = listToArray (list, ",") />
<cfset len = ArrayLen( arr ) />
<select>
<cfloop from="1" to="#len#" index="idx" >
<option><cfoutput>#arr[idx]#</cfoutput></option>
</cfloop>
</select>
OR
<select>
<cfloop list="Output1, Output2, Output3, Output4, Output5" index="item">
<option><cfoutput>#item#</cfoutput></option>
</cfloop>
</select>
It's been awhile since I've written this type of ColdFusion code, hence the question.
I am returning values from a .NET webservice into ColdFusion. The webservice returns an array of strings. The following code...
<cfoutput>
<cfset xArrayItems=#GetRequestedUserSettings.settingValues.getString()#>
<cfset xLen=ArrayLen(GetRequestedUserSettings.settingValues.getString())>
<cfloop index="x" from=1 to="#xLen#">
#xArrayItems[x]#<br />
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
results in the following output ...
maxsize=50
isdomainadmin=False
seenwelcome=False
I want to put those name/value pairs into a meaningful structure so that I can reference them farther down in the code. I actually need to pass them in as a cfinvokearguments for the next webservice call.
Could someone please be kind enough to remind me how to do this in CF8? Most of what I am finding refers to newer versions.
I ended up with something quite similar to what #Henry you provided.
<cfset UserSettings = structNew()>
<cfset xArrayItems= GetRequestedUserSettings.settingValues.getString()>
<cfset xLen=ArrayLen(GetRequestedUserSettings.settingValues.getString())>
<cfloop index="x" from=1 to="#xLen#">
<cfset varName = ListGetAt(xArrayItems[x], 1, "=")>
<cfset varValue = ListGetAt(xArrayItems[x], 2, "=")>
<cfset "UserSettings.#varname#" = varValue>
</cfloop>
Not sure if an Array or a Struct is a better solution, but the both work in the end.
Slightly more readable version I can come up with that will work with CF8:
<cfset UserSettings = {}>
<cfset xArrayItems = GetRequestedUserSettings.settingValues.getString()>
<cfloop array="#xArrayItems#" index="item">
<cfset varname = ListFirst(item, "=")>
<cfset varvalue = ListRest(item, "=")>
<cfset UserSettings[varname] = varvalue>
</cfloop>
I have a string like:
oauth_token=xxxxxxxxxxx&oauth_token_secret=xxxxxxxxxxx&oauth_callback_confirmed=true
I want to extract these values into three variables.
Can you please suggest the easiest method in ColdFusion?
#Dan Bracuk was close, this will do what you want.
<cfset myString = "oauth_token=xxxxxxxxxxx&oauth_token_secret=xxxxxxxxxxx&oauth_callback_confirmed=true">
<cfloop list="#myString#" index="pair" delimiters="&">
<cfset myStruct[ListFirst(pair, "=")] = ListLast(pair, "=")>
</cfloop>
<cfdump var="#myStruct#">
I would try something like this:
<cfloop
list = "oauth_token=xxxxxxx&oauth_token_secret=xxxxx&oauth_callback_confirmed=true"
index="pair" delimiter="&">
<cfset ListFirst(pair, "=") = ListLast(pair, "=")>
</cfloop>
I'm not sure if it work, but it would be worth a shot.
There is another alternative to the accepted solution:
<cfset t = "oauth_token=abc&oauth_token_secret=def&oauth_callback_confirmed=true">
<cfset oauth_token = ListGetAt(ListGetAt(t,1,"&"),2,"=")>
<cfset oauth_token_secret = ListGetAt(ListGetAt(t,2,"&"),2,"=")>
<cfset oauth_callback_confirmed = ListGetAt(ListGetAt(t,3,"&"),2,"=")>
I have a simple cfquery which outputs 3 columns with their respective data. The columns are name, address and age.
I want to transpose this set of data so that the names become the columns and the address and age are displayed under each column.
I know that we can use QueryAddColumn or something like this for this issue. Can someone help me out with this problem?
EDIT:
Based on the comment below this is the intended output:
Oct 2011 Nov 2011 Dec 2011 Jan 2012 Feb 2012
NumberofPeople NumberofPeople NumberofPeople NumberofPeople NumberofPeople
EmploymentRate EmploymentRate EmploymentRate EmploymentRate EmploymentRate
I have included a sample data row at the top where you would put your cfquery statement.
<cfset firstQuery = queryNew("date,NumberofPeople,EmploymentRate")>
<cfset aRow = queryAddRow(firstQuery)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"date","OCT_2011",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"NumberofPeople","28",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"EmploymentRate","50%",aRow)>
<cfset aRow = queryAddRow(firstQuery)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"date","NOV_2011",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"NumberofPeople","28",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"EmploymentRate","56%",aRow)>
<cfset aRow = queryAddRow(firstQuery)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"date","DEC_2011",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"NumberofPeople","29",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"EmploymentRate","55%",aRow)>
<cfset aRow = queryAddRow(firstQuery)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"date","JAN_2012",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"NumberofPeople","30",aRow)>
<cfset querySetCell(firstQuery,"EmploymentRate","52%",aRow)>
<!--- Will Create new query with names as column headers--->
<cfset newQuery = queryNew(valueList(firstQuery.date,','))>
<!--- Will Create new query with names as column headers--->
<cfset people = queryAddRow(newQuery)>
<cfset rate = queryAddRow(newQuery)>
<cfloop query='firstQuery'>
<!---Syntax for this function is: QuerySetCell(query, column_name, value [, row_number ]) --->
<cfset querySetCell(newQuery,firstQuery.date,firstQuery.NumberofPeople,people)>
<cfset querySetCell(newQuery,firstQuery.date,firstQuery.EmploymentRate,rate)>
</cfloop>
<cfdump var="#newQuery#">
<cfdump var="#ArrayToList(newQuery.getColumnNames())#">
This is How I would Do it, But I can't think of why I would do it. I'd be interested to hear your use case. Anyway, I hope this helps.
(P.S This is tested in CF9, so you should be able to copy and paste it to test for yourself.)
EDIT -(Again):
Forgot to mention, this can only work if the names your retrieveing from the DB are valid column names, so no spaces (In this example spaces in dates have been replaced by underscores)!
>>> New code snippet for the updated data structure, the function valueList(firstQuery.date,',') doesn't re-order your columns. The columns are re-ordered on output when dumping. I have used the function ArrayToList(newQuery.getColumnNames()) to show that internally CF maintains the column order and you need only ask it nicely. You should be able to use all this information to nicely output your data how you need it.
Maybe I'm missing something but it seems like a simple SQL query with the ORDER BY clause would work. Something like this:
<cfquery name="myquery" datasource="yourdatasourcename">
select name, address, age
from tablename
order by name
</cfquery>
Then in your ColdFusion output page, you can use the tag with the group attribute. Something like this:
<cfoutput query="myquery">
<p>name = #name#
<cfoutput group="name">
age = #age#
address = #address#<br />
</cfoutput>
</p>
</cfoutput>
Obviously, you can format the output however you wish.
EDIT --
If you are wanting to display like:
Mary Joe Sam Suzie
28 36 25 42
123 Maple 16 Oak 3723 Street 832 Busy St.
Perhaps something like (I have not tested this, just brainstorming):
<cfoutput query="myquery" group="name">
<div style="float:left;">name = #name#
<cfoutput>
<p>
age = #age#<br />
address = #address#
</p>
</cfoutput>
</div>
</cfoutput>
I think you are describing a pivot query in SQL.
