Saving and exporting an XML document object

The ToString function converts an XML document object to a text string. You can then use the string variable in any ColdFusion tag or function.

To save the XML document in a file, use the ToString function to convert the document object to a string variable, then use the cffile tag to save the string as a file. For example, use the following code to save the XML document myXMLDocument in the file C:\temp\myxmldoc.xml:

<cfset XMLText=ToString(myXMLDocument)>
<cffile action="write" file="C:\temp\myxmldoc.xml" output="#XMLText#">
