recursion is fun!
create and run the following two files for a cool example of recursion :)
text.cfm
---------------------------------------------------
<cf_fileList rootFolder="c:\inetpub\wwwroot">
---------------------------------------------------
fileList.cfm
---------------------------------------------------
<cfdirectory directory="#attributes.rootFolder#" name="contents">
<cfoutput query="contents">
<cfif len(name) GT 2>
<cfif type IS "dir">
<cf_fileList
rootFolder="#attributes.rootFolder#\#name#">
<cfelseif name CONTAINS ".cfm">
<cfset request.files =
listAppend(request.files,name)>
<!--- this code will be run on all files found --->
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
---------------------------------------------------
pretty basic. You'll end up with a list of all files in the original root
folder and all subfolders in (stored in request.files)
You can do other cool things with this kind of recursion (like use it to
build a CFtree).
