the FilesAll came from a CFDirectory listing I did - it's in a table now

the FilesKeep is a list of items in the DB I want to keep - also in a table now

I need to flag each FilesAll if it is NOT in FilesKeep so that I can delete

the FilesAll and FilesKeep names will be the same (text - ex: MO.40334)

Does this make sense ?

TIA,
Donna

  Your database structure isn't very clear to me.

  How do you know one file is in a table? Same ID, or is
  its filename in a comma-delimited list field list in
  filesall?

  If fileskeep and filesall are comma-delimited lists,
  then there isn't an easy solution
