Adobe ColdFusion Builder - File encoding support

Author: sandeepp  |  Category: ColdFusion Builder, Preferences  |  Comments (0)  |  Add Comment

Adobe ColdFusion Builder by default treats CFML file content as UTF-8 encoded. So when you look at properties of cfm file and it will show encoding as default UTF-8 (determined by content).

This post tells you how to configure Adobe ColdFusion builder to support different file encoding. This is useful when you have CFML files which have encoding other than UTF-8.

So here are the steps -

1) Navigate to preferences->General->Content types page

2) On this page expand Text node and select CFML source file.

3) Once selected, default encoding text field will show “UTF-8″ as default encoding for CFML content.

4) Change this to any desired encoding type and click update button next to this field.

5) Click OK.

6) Reopen file in editor.

Following is screen shot of how to change this preference setting-

Now file properties will show files encoding as set by user, and file content will be shown properly in editor based on set encoding.
