and i have to type cfVertextoJoint; in the command line, but obviously it says;

// Error: Cannot find procedure "cfVertextoJoint". //

You have to source the script first so that Maya knows it exists. Once you do this one time, you won't have to do it again. In the script editor, go to File>Source Script. While I know nothing about this specific script, my guess is that should work.

Oh, ,and by the way... the multiple postings of the same question is very annoying!
