>thanks, i'll work on it and get back to you Thanks, I tried out your method, it generated the list and grouped them according to their individual directories but it wont work for what i wanted to use it for. What i intend to do is to pass the directory and file information to a <cfpdf> tag which merges the files in each directory using the directory name as the final file output for each directory. I need to do this programatically because hundreds of thousands of files are involved.
Here is what i came up with: <cfdirectory action="list" directory="D:\Dox" name="filelist"> <cfset tempPath=""> <cfloop query="filelist"> <cfset fPath="#directory#\#filelist.name#"> <cfpdf action="merge" directory="#fpath#" destination="D:\dox\#filelist.name#\#filelist.name#.pdf" overwrite="yes"> </cfloop> and i get the error below, i have tried to, store and retrieve the directory and filename in a database, still the same problem. Can anyone tell me what i am missing. The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code. Null Pointers are another name for undefined values. The error occurred in C:\wamp\www\codex\tesk.cfm: line 14 12 : <cfloop query="filelist"> 13 : <cfset fPath="#directory#\#filelist.name#"> 14 : <cfpdf action="merge" directory="#fpath#" destination="D:\pdfgen\#filelist.name#\#filelist.name#.pdf" overwrite="yes"> 15 : </cfloop> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
