A while back I wrote about creating a CFMX wrapper for java file reader, which I used to read files in from within <cfscript>. However I wondered how you’d go about creating a new file and by creating and java.io.File object and dumping I spotted a method called createNewFile(). Here is the snippet that creates the object and the new file: [code]// create the file stream filename = “/absolutePath/toYourFile”; jFile = createobject(“java”, “java.io.File”); jFile.init(filename); // the file doesn’t exist so use the file stream to create it jFile.createNewFile();[/code] This also works on BlueDragon.
