Actually, it wouldn't have to iterate <cfdirectory action="list" name="qGetDir" directory="C:\mydir\mysubdir" filter="myfile.ext">
Should just return the single file. - Calvin -----Original Message----- From: Katz, Dov B (IT) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 2:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to get file information? CFDirectory is probably not that performant, as it has to iterate through the file list to find the file you want. I suggest <CFOBJECT type="java" name="MyFile" class="java.io.File"> <Cfset myFile.init("#expandpath(yourfile...etc)#")> Then you have access to all java.io.File's rich method library, such as length(), canRead(), exists(), delete(), isDirectory() etc.... Not sure about performance tradeoff, but definitely more features doing it this way... -Dov -----Original Message----- From: Al Everett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 2:18 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: How to get file information? Use CFDIRECTORY with the "Filter" attribute. Then you'll only get information about your specific file.
