ColdFusion CFPOP - My First Look

Posted on Mar 19, 2010 at 4:24 PM

@Ben Thanks for the follow up! The root of the problem had to do with being able to trace bounced emails to specific records in a DB table. Let's say you run an email campaign and you get 1,000 bounce backs. For each bounce back, you would a) not want the sender to receive the bounce... read more »

ColdFusion CFPOP - My First Look

Posted on Mar 1, 2010 at 7:13 AM

@Delon Sure. Feel free to email me. galdamez@mac.com I had to a similar project with 1,000+ bounce backs. Using a combination of CFPOP, some looping, and RegEx I was able to compile a list of about 95% of the bouncing email addresses. Afterwards, I ran a similar loop to remove the bou... read more »

ColdFusion CFPOP - My First Look

@Delon Good to hear you're making some progress. Maybe if you post the sample text that shows the Mailer ID one of us can write the RegEx you would need to extract the number. Good luck.... read more »
ColdFusion CFPOP - My First Look

@Delon Check this UDF out. http://cflib.org/udf/getEmails My suggestion would be to run a query loop through whatever is returned from CFPOP. Use this UDF to extra email addresses from the body. Most of the times bounce... read more »

At least we now know that the performance hit from method chaining is infinitesimally smaller than manipulating the DOM. Thus, I approve this picture's PSA.... read more »
Thoughts And Goals For 2010

Posted on Jan 4, 2010 at 5:49 PM

I've never been good on new year's resolutions myself. I've been telling myself this will finally be the year when I get my own CF/Web development blog rolling. Only time will tell. For starters, I decided to buy a membership to Costco and do most of my shopping there. Gimme that 5 gallon box of... read more »
Using Double Not-Operator (!!) For Boolean Type Casting

Here's some more to think about //create array object, objects are truthy arr = []; typeof arr = "object" !!arr = true //null object seems to be an exception to the rule typeof null = "object" !!null = false //undefined type is falsey typeof undefi... read more »
Using Double Not-Operator (!!) For Boolean Type Casting

Posted on Dec 14, 2009 at 11:21 PM

I've been digging through "Object Oriented Javascript" by Stoyan Stefanov, and they mention this trick early on which is kind of cool. Even though I'd already seen it, I still picked up a few new tidbits by checking out this code. I always assumed the document.write() method had to be withi... read more »
Odd CFLoop Condition Runtime Compilation Bug

Posted on Dec 14, 2009 at 10:29 PM

This reminds me of a problem I ran into in CF8 where I used the Java method indexOf() to do array searching in CFML. arr.indexOf("findMe") Passing in simple values as seen above would work fine, but when I passed in a field from a query variable, it would always fail. arr.indexO... read more »

This is a book that's listed on my office's future purchases list. It was good hearing your side of the story. I especially like hearing criticisms as all too many times the Amazon reviewers can be too nice. It really hurts when you get the book and it's not all that it's hyped up to be.

Using ColdFusion Structures To Remove Duplicate List Values

Posted on Nov 21, 2009 at 12:28 PM

@Jody I can't seem to get your code sample to work. If you are still having problems, try this code out and see if it gets you what you wanted.  <cfset listWithDups = "second,second,second,third,third,first,first,fir... read more »
Using ColdFusion Structures To Remove Duplicate List Values

Posted on Nov 17, 2009 at 11:39 AM

@Matt My solution was based off an earlier comment where Rich showed some code on how to create the unique key struct and maintain a count of how many times each duplicate was seen. Either way, looks like there's a couple of ways to get the same result.... read more »
Using ColdFusion Structures To Remove Duplicate List Values

Posted on Nov 17, 2009 at 10:47 AM

@Jody To the best of my knowledge, structures don't really have a notion of ordering, so you would have to convert the structure to some other data type such as 2D array or a query. If you wanted to go the query route, you first convert your structure to a query and then run a query o... read more »

How To Unformat Your Code (Like A Pro)

Posted on Nov 6, 2009 at 10:10 PM

The timing of this post is just uncanny. I spent the last 15-20 minutes manually un-formatting my "Ben Nadel" style code within a CFC of mine. I was really digging the readability a few weeks ago, but I found that if you implement code folding in CF Builder you then open up a CFC and get a bunch... read more »
