Re: CFFILE move is copying
Well, I tried it this morning, and it worked. The only differences I could see is I used a different e-mail address and I didn't fill out the optional fields. Weird. Thanks!

Re: CFFILE move is copying
Actually, I found a way around it. I'm using the underlying Java file reader (which is what I assume cfloop type=file uses) that also includes a close() method that fixes it. I would think cfloop would do that automatically once you exit the loop (whether upon the end of the file or prematurely), but maybe there are times you wouldn't want it to.

Re: CFFILE move is copying
Here's a thought on what might be going on (and if so, I'm open to suggestions). Basically, if I'm writing to the badFiles location, I have almost invariably broken out of a cfloop file=whatever loop before reaching the end of the file (using cfbreak). Is it possible that ColdFusion still has a lock on the file and, therefore, can't delete it? (I'm thinking this may be the case, because right now I can't manually delete that file from the source folder, either). Assuming that's the case, any ideas on how to get around it? Because this is a process we don't want to bog down unnecessarily, I'd rather not read the whole file in (the old way of looping over a file) or loop over the entire file if I don't have to.

Re: CFFILE move is copying
What about firing off another thread to delete it after X amount of time? Or maybe not deleting it right away, and instead adding the file to a list, and then moving/deleting the list at the end (maybe with a sleep() first?) -- Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards.
