cffile in cfscript quick cheat sheet
First time for using CFFILE within cfscript so thought I should document this for myself and anyone else.
Open and close a file
1myFile = expandPath( "somefile.txt" );
2fileObj = fileRead( myFile );
3writeOutput(fileObj);
4// OR
5myFile = expandPath( "somefile.txt" );
6fileObj = fileOpen( myFile, "read" );
7fileClose( fileObj ); // Once a file is closed you cannot access the object
2fileObj = fileRead( myFile );
3writeOutput(fileObj);
4// OR
5myFile = expandPath( "somefile.txt" );
6fileObj = fileOpen( myFile, "read" );
7fileClose( fileObj ); // Once a file is closed you cannot access the object

This may fall into the category of "No Duh", but you can also use these functions in tag based CF as well. I don't like how verbose cffile is - so if I want to simply read in a file, I may do:
<cfset contents = fileRead("..")>
<cfset contents = fileRead("..")>
I use this cheat sheet quite frequently. Thanks for putting it together.
@evik cheers. Its good to know its helped someone
