I solved the problem. What I did was create a includable file act_DirectoryClean.cfm which contains: ============================================================================ = <cfset deleteAt = ListFind(list, "..", "\")> <cfset list = ListDeleteAt(list, "#deleteAt#", "\")> <cfset list = ListDeleteAt(list, "#Evaluate("deleteAt - 1")#", "\")> <cfif ListContains(list, "..", "\")> <cfinclude template="act_DirectoryClean.cfm"> </cfif> ============================================================================ = Then in my main page, I had this code: ============================================================================ = <cfif ListContains(URL.id, "..", "\")> <cfset list = URL.id> <cfinclude template="act_DirectoryClean.cfm"> </cfif> ============================================================================ = Original message: How can I dynamically convert: d:\songs\..\drip\manual.txt to: d:\drip\manual.txt or: d:\Songs\Music\K\..\B\Buffett, Jimmy\Song.mp3 to: d:\Songs\Music\B\Buffett, Jimmy\Song.mp3 ?
