What about renaming all the filenames with spaces to remove the spaces, then move them.
Use cfdirectory to get a list of the filenames, then loop over the results and rename the files without spaces: <cfset newFileName = replace(originalFileName, " ", "", "all") /> Then use cfdirectory to get the new file list, loop over that list and use cffile action="move"...>. Or it might work just as well to rename and delete in the first loop over the directory filelist.

Almost all the filenames have a space in them. I am trying to use CFFILE action="move" to clean things up but apparently CFFILE does not like the spaces in the file names. Any clever ways around this? As I type this I am thinking I could use CF to write a CMD script and then just run it in good old DOS prompt since its a one time thing. I would rather not do this as I plan to update a DB field as the script process's so I know where I am when it times out.. Man....CF has come so far since the Bob Denny days, but then the simplest things choke it..... ~Adrian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:353923 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
