(listLen(valueList(getfiles.name)) gte 1)>
Show the file, its here.
<cfelse>
The file isnt here, but here's the file that should be here.
</cfif>
but he said he did know the name of what "Should" be there, just had to
know if it wasn't...so he could
compare with what "should" be there.
I think. I was confused the first time I read it.

now, this doesn't check for a null value in getFiles.name, but you could
accomplish that with...

The cfdirectory is below:
<cfdirectory
action = ""> directory = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\RMG\events"
name = "getFiles"
filter = "_#date#-#id#*.cfm"
sort = "name"
>
If I do a #ListLen(eventFiles)#
I get the complex object type error.
An abbreviated cfdump is below:

what happens if you cfdump the results, doesnt it look like a query?
can you valueList() the getDirectory_QueryName.fileName
or whatever the variable is called to get a list?

Subject: using the result of CFDIRECTORY as a list
I'm using CFDIRECTORY to get a list of files that meet certain
parameters.
Sometimes one of the file doesn't exist. And here's the trouble. I
can't
seem to use CFDIRECTORY as a list. I keep getting the "complex object
type" error.
I can produce a list of a files that should exist, I would like to
compare that to the files that do exist.
Been spinning my wheels on this one.
