I'm trying to do a query of a query returned through CFDIRECTORY.  What, if
any, functions are permitted in such a query?  I need to use the first four
characters of the file name in the WHERE clause.

<!--- Get a directory listing of all area photos --->
<cfdirectory action="list" directory="#photos#" name="dirlisting">

<!--- Pull out only photos of desired areas --->
<cfquery dbtype="query" name="r">
SELECT *
FROM dirlisting
WHERE Left(name, 4) IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(areas)#)
ORDER BY name
</cfquery>

If this isn't doable, is there another way, short of looping over the directory
listing?
