Good point, but maybe instead of renaming the files, read them in, loop
over the names and use the UDF to pad the string with zeros, add it to
an array, and then sort the array. maybe a stretch, but theoretically it
should work. I recently took the PadStringToLen function from
www.cflib.org written by Stephen Rittler , and modified it to pad to the
left instead of the right.
<cfscript>
function PadStringToLenLeft(string, char, count)
{
var strLen = len(string);
var padLen = count - strLen;
if (padLen lte 0) {
return string;
}
else {
return RepeatString(char, padLen) & string;
}
}
</cfscript>
<cfset newFilename = PadStringToLenLeft(filename,"0",3)> or whatever
