Any idea why CFFILE Write does not support making it unique but CFFile Upload does?
I'm using CFFILE Write to handle a GetHttpRequestData, and being able to support making it unique would be very helpful. Any ideas?

A:
Well, it doesn't. You'll have to roll your own unique names by first checking if the file exists and if it does, then add on some additional character(s) and repeat check/add until you've found something unique.
Alternatively, you always prepend something that ought to be fairly unique (e.g. date-time-incremental number).

Gert G is correct. You have to roll your own. But IMO it is always a good idea to check cflib.org first. With most tasks, you will find "someone has already written a function for that ...". At the very least, one you can adapt to suit your needs. cflib.org/udf/createUniqueFileName
