Id say that a program on the server such as the one I mentioned is the way to go then... read the XML file which contains ONLY the files and dirs (files for now) that have been changed. If you know C# you could also have a DB entry made into a table for the file or dir name..... you do have a lot of options outside of CF.
I am not a JAVA programmer so I do not know if what I am working on in C# is possible in JAVA, but I assume it is... and that might be another avenue to consider. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Moretti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 7:29 AM Subject: Re: Finding recently modified files in subdirectories > Ok... > > How about CFExecute with > > dir /s /t:w /o:D /A:-D | FIND "30/07/2003" > > You probably going to need to tinker with this to get exactly what you want > and you're still going to have to parse the output, but its pretty quick. > > Just remember that the number of subdirectory is going to be a factor in how > long this processing takes, which ever way you end up coding this.
