ColdFusion Write File

Question

I'm reading a simple file of logset.txt which only contains Login:,Pass:

File is stored on webroot.

Reading it, and if no data after :. I want user to set their login data and store it.

So they would enter on a form their login and password. So enter Bob and Turkey

And then I want it to Overwrite the logset.txt file as: Login:Bob,Pass:Turkey

I am trying this with no luck.

<cfset nf = "Login:Bob,Pass:Turkey">

<CFFILE ACTION="Write"
    FILE="logset.txt"
    nameConflict="overwrite"
    OUTPUT="#nf#">

Is this a path issue? I have tried "/logset.txt" and "\logset.txt"

Your code should write the file in the directory where your cf template is present. Is the path of the cfm also on the webroot? — rrk, Nov 02 '20 at 20:00

Not directly related to the question, but passwords should not be stored in plain text — SOS, Nov 07 '20 at 17:18

Ignore. Path Problem This works.

   <cfset fpath = expandpath('\')>

   <CFFILE ACTION="Write"
     FILE="#FPath#logset.txt"
     nameConflict="overwrite"
     OUTPUT="#nf#">

Now anyone got an idea of how to write to a mobile device local?

ColdFusion only writes on servers. It does not write on mobile devices. – James A Mohler Nov 02 '20 at 20:44

To write to the user's device, use cookies. – Dan Bracuk Nov 02 '20 at 21:12
