CFRETURN to .CFM page

Trying to display structExcelResult["strUrl"] created by the function on my .cfm page.

How do I fetch that data (structExcelResult["strURL"]) and display it on my .cfm page?

I'm new at this and going through Ben Forta books... Thanks!

Since you have a cfreturn in your code, I'll assume that was meant to have been wrapped in cffunction.

You can call a cffunction a couple of different ways. It could be on the same .cfm page that you're on:

<cffunction name="sayHello" output="false">
     <cfargument name="username" type="string" required="false" default="Anonymous" />
     <cfreturn "Hello, " & username />
</cffunction>

<cfoutput>#sayHello( 'Charlie' )#</cfoutput>

However, it's more likely that your function is part of a ColdFusion Component (CFC). To call a function that's part of a CFC, you first have to instantiate the CFC:

<cfset myCFC = createObject( 'component', 'path.to.my.cfc' ) />

Now you can call any method that resides in the CFC via:

<cfoutput>#myCFC.myFunction( 'foo' )#</cfoutput>

Going back to my first (very simple) example, let's say the sayHello() function resided in the Greeting.cfc file that was at /com/Greeting.cfc.

<cfset greeting = createObject( 'component', 'com.greeting' ) />
<cfoutput>#greeting.sayHello( 'Charlie' )#</cfoutput>

You can use anything you'd like for the name. It doesn't have to be myCFC or greeting. It's just a variable that represents a hook into your component.

Hope that helps.
