HELP CFTRY/CFCATCH/CFDIRECTORY problem
Ok here's the scenario. We have to place a file into a directory structure. The end result would be D:\FILES\SONNUMBER\TODAYSDATE\SOCIALSECURITYNUMBER\ACTUALFILE.TXT These folders SONNUMBER, TODAYSDATE, and SOCIALSECURITYNUMBER would be created on the fly if they aren't already there. Most of the time the SONNUMBER (which is actually 1 of 600+ numbers) will already be there. TODAYSDATE would be there the first time I file comes through that day for that SONNUMBER and SOCIALSECURITYNUMBER will always be new. Now if I create a CFDIRECTORY tag to create the SONNUMBER folder and it already exists it of course throws and error, which it should. So using CFTRY I did the following: CFTRY cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\ cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(), 'mmddyy')#\ cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(), 'mmddyy')#\#SSN#\ CFCATCH type=ANY cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(), 'mmddyy')#\ cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(), 'mmddyy')#\#SSN#\ /CFCATCH CFCATCH type=Any cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(), 'mmddyy')#\#SSN#\ /CFCATCH CFCATCH type=Any An Error has occurred /CFCATCH /CFTRY So if it gets an error on the first set (meaning it can't create the SON folder) then it goes to the next cfcatch and tries to start from the DATE folder. If that throws an error that it exists it tries the last one which is simply creating the SocialSecurityNumber folder. However if I run this code and the SON folder does already exist but the date and socialsecurity number do not it skips the next 2 cfcatchs and goes to the last one an error has occurred. To make sure it was doing that I removed the LAST CFCATCH and then it would try to run the last one skipping the one before it. If I removed that LAST one then it would finally work. Am I just missing soemthing here with the way CFTRY and CFCATCH work? I figured if it errored on the first process it would automatically try the next one NOT the last one.

Re: HELP CFTRY/CFCATCH/CFDIRECTORY problem
Well, I would use DirectoryExists(), but if you really want to use TRY/CATCH, you could do it like this... CFTRY cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\ CFCATCH type=ANY !--- We dont really care --- /CFCATCH /CFTRY CFTRY cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(),'mmddyy')#\ CFCATCH type=ANY !--- We dont really care --- /CFCATCH /CFTRY CFTRY cfdirectory action=create directory=#FILEPATH##SON#\#DATEFORMAT(NOW(),'mmddyy')#\#SSN#\ CFCATCH type=ANY An Error has occurred /CFCATCH /CFTRY -Rich ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: HELP CFTRY/CFCATCH/CFDIRECTORY problem
makes sense and I didn't even know there was a DirectoryExists() shows you how much I deal with directory stuff. :) I will try both although it still is odd that the cftry/cfcatchs were working that way.

Thanks Richard.
