Here try this. I snipped it out of something I use to build static pages with CFHTTP. It builds thousands of them based on query output. I wanted it to run multiple threads at once but not so many it fried CF. So the code keeps track of how many threads are running and limits their number to a value you specify. variables.threadcount sets the number of threads to allow to run concurrently. For your routine you could have the urls you want to canvas in a db, query them as seen below and then reference the query output's current row in the loop via the loopCounter variable as shown.
<cfscript> variables.threadArray=arrayNew(1); variables.threadCount=3; </cfscript> <cfquery name="getData" datasource="#server.DSN#" username="#server.userName#" password="#server.password#"> SELECT fileName.primaryKey FROM fileName WHERE 0=0 ORDER BY fileName.primaryKey ASC </cfquery> <cfset variables.loopCounter=0> <cfloop condition="variables.loopCounter LT getData.recordCount"> <!--- count the threads that are currently live ---> <cfset variables.threadsLive=arrayLen(variables.threadArray)> <!--- Do we have an available thread? ---> <cfif variables.threadsLive lt variables.threadCount> <!--- A thread is available. Increment the loopCounter and give it a name ---> <cfset variables.loopCounter=variables.loopCounter+1> <cfset variables.thisThreadID=createUUID()> <cfset temp=arrayAppend(variables.threadArray,variables.thisThreadID)> <!--- create the thread whose name we specified and have reserved ---> <cfthread name="#variables.thisThreadID#" action="run"> <!--- CF Code to be run inside the thread goes here. This next cfset is just a dummy ---> <cfset variables.foo=getdata.ID[variables.loopCounter]> <!--- remove the now-completed thread from the "live" list ---> <cfset temp=arrayDeleteAt(variables.threadArray,arrayFindNoCase(variables.threadArray,variables.thisThreadID))> </cfthread> </cfif> </cfloop> -- --m@Robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:360142 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
