Re: getting rid of spaces in file names
Eliminating the space is the most definite way. I think that by including the filename in doublequotes it keeps it all together. my photo.jpg;the other file.doc Not completely sure, though.

RE: getting rid of spaces in file names
I ALWAYS remove spaces from file names (I actually remove anything other than letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens and periods). Normally, I just replace them with underscores or hyphens. It's just easier than worrying about them. If anyone complains, store the original name in the database along with the new renamed file name and use the original name for links and such. : ) cfset filename=my file.jpg cfset newfilename = replace(filename, , _, ALL) cffile action=rename source=/path/to/some/file/#filename# destination=/path/to/file/#newfilename# / ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.
