Problem Description:
The example shown for FilePath() in the documentation at https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/cfml-reference/coldfusion-functions/functions-e-g/fileappend.html incorrectly shows the parameter as filePath when it should be file.

theDir=GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())
theFolder=theDir & "file.txt"
fileData="The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
FileAppend(filePath=theFolder,data=fileData,charset="UTF-8",addNewLine="yes")
</cfscript>
