Use CFDIRECTORY and return the results to the QUERY attribute. The query
contains a bunch of information about the files in the directory. Then do a
".recordcount" on the query variable, subtract 2 if you're in an NT world
(to account for the "." and ".." control directories, and you've got the
count:
<CFDIRECTORY ACTION="LIST" DIRECTORY="#directory_path#" NAME="the_dir">
<CFSET num_of_files=the_dir.recordcount-2>
<CFOUTPUT>There are #num_of_files# in the directory.</CFOUTPUT>
Hope this helps!
