<div>
Try this:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308092-1"><span>&lt;cfset imageurl = "http://17.0.0.1/path_to_file/file name with space.jpg"&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;cfset parts = parseURL(imageurl)&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;cfdump var="#parts#"&gt;</span>
</code></pre>parseURL:&nbsp;<a href="https://cflib.org/udf/parseUrl" rel="ugc">https://cflib.org/udf/parseUrl</a>
</div>


<div>
If I use parseURL I get the error:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308093-1"><span>No matching function [PARSEURL] found</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
I do not need to use parseURL because I already have the filename without the path. It looks to me that the example provided comes from:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raymondcamden.com/2013/01/09/CFImage-and-paths-with-spaces" rel="ugc">https://www.raymondcamden.com/2013/01/09/CFImage-and-paths-with-spaces</a><br><br>I tried using urlEncodedFormat as suggested in Raymond Camden's article but I get the error that the file does not exist
</div>


<div>
parseURL() is the custom function as shown in previous link.<br><br>Try another approach:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308098-1"><span>&lt;cfset newurl = parts.scheme &amp; "://" &amp; parts.domain &amp; parts.directory &amp; urlEncodedFormat(parts.file)&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;cfoutput&gt;&lt;p&gt;#newurl#&lt;p&gt;&lt;/cfoutput&gt;</span>
<span>&lt;cfimage source="#newurl#" name="yourImage"&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
I have already tried what you suggest but I get the error that the file doesn't exist. Here is my error message:<br><br>file or directory [my_path]/images/2%20j%20live%20Ottawa07%2Ejpg not exist<br>&nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Is this file path exist as given accessible in browser?<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308102-1"><span>[my_path]/images/2%20j%20live%20Ottawa07%2Ejpg</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
No, it is a path in my server starting with c:/home/ .....
</div>


<div>
Can you refer the hosted file from public URL domain? otherwise, you will get permission access error.<br>Furthermore, you can use double quotes ("") to refer the file name with spaces.<br><br>Try this:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308104-1"><span>&lt;cfset thisImageside=imageNew(""http://yourdomain.com/path_to_file/file name with space.jpg"")&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
If I use the same code but with a filename that does not contain any spaces then it works fine. In both cases the path to the file is exactly the same.<br><br>
</div>


<div>
Double quotes causes an error, the page does not run. Given that my test works files that do not contain a space I am confident that my path is correct.
</div>


<div>
how about replace space with <strong>%20&nbsp;</strong>if your existing path is working fine? %2E is dot replacement after encoded.<br><br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308112-1"><span>&lt;cfset thisImageside=imageNew("/path_to_file/file<strong>%2</strong><strong>0</strong>name<strong>%2</strong><strong>0</strong>with<strong>%2</strong><strong>0</strong>space<strong>%2E</strong>jpg")&gt;</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
I have tried that. Here is my error message:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308390-1"><span>file or directory [my_path]/images/2%20j%20live%20Ottawa07%2Ejpg not exist</span>
</code></pre><br>To make sure that the file exists I added<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43308390-2"><span>&lt;img src="[my_path]/images/2%20j%20live%20Ottawa07%2Ejpg" width="300px"&gt;</span>
</code></pre>and the image loads fine
</div>


<div>
I do not use CF and can't provide the exact answer, but I believe your issue is your file name with spaces has to contain quotes. &nbsp;<a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/deployment/filenames-with-spaces-require-quotation-mark" rel="ugc">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/deployment/filenames-with-spaces-require-quotation-mark</a><br><br>In any of my web apps, I just don't allow the use of spaces in file names. If the image is being uploaded, I just do a string replace to switch out the space for an underscore.

I am trying to use the Codlfusion function imageNew. It works for me if the filename does not contain any spaces. If it does I get an error. For example:<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-10-29219258-1"><span>&lt;cfset thisImageside=imageNew("/path_to_file/filename.jpg")&gt;</span>

How do I use imagenew if the file name contains spaces

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.

ColdFusion Language

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.
