GetTempFile
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(GetTemplatePath( )), "tmp_")> <CFOUTPUT> <B>Temporary file:</B> #GetFileFromPath(MyTempFile)#<BR> <B>Path:</B> #GetDirectoryFromPath(MyTempFile)# </CFOUTPUT>
