Exporting coldfusion/html documents to word perfect

Hi,

The title pretty much sums my problem up in general. I will use coldfusion/html to generate reports, and then want to be able to export them to/import them from WordPerfect.

I guess if I could save the files to specific locations and then pick them up throught the WordPerfect program later, that might be okay.

Input is much appreciated.

You can wrap the page output with <cfsavecontent> which will capture all the output inside the tag set, and then save that captured content to a file using cffile. I would assume that wordperfect will import and render an html document.

Yeah, wordperfect would import. Unfortunately, I am using ColdFusion 4.1.xx, and the <cfsavecontent> didn't come out until version 5 it looks like.

I can try to use executeCommand using Javascript, i guess is my only option -- I will have to practice with it some.

Thanks for the input.

If you search the Macromedia exchange for "cf_savecontent" you should be able to find a custom tag that mimics the behavor (it is actually extremely simple, just a custom tag that captures everything in the generated content into a variable that it returns to the caller).
