Name
GetTempFile
Synopsis
GetTempFile(directory, filenameprefix
)
Returns the full path to a uniquely named temporary file that
ColdFusion creates and saves in directory
.
The filename is assigned by taking up to the first three characters
of filenameprefix
, appending a unique
string to them, and tacking on a .tmp extension.
The following example creates a temporary file that begins with
“tmp_” and saves it to the current
directory:
<cfset MyTempFile = GetTempFile(GetDirectoryFromPath(GetBaseTemplatePath( )), "tmp_")> <cfoutput> <b>Temporary file:</b> #GetFileFromPath(MyTempFile)#<br> <b>Path:</b> #GetDirectoryFromPath(MyTempFile)# </cfoutput>
