Cool new feature of ColdFusion 5 is that the Verity Spider is included as part of the distribution. The license is for localhost only.
The Verity spider has some great capabilities to numerous to mention here, but here's a taste. The spider can use a command file to build the collection, one of the parameters is the capability of using a regular expression. The below is from the docs; -regexp Specifies the use of regular expressions rather than the default wildcard expressions for the following options: -exclude, -indexclude, -include, -indinclude, -skip, -indskip, -preferred, and -nofollow. Wildcard expressions allow the use of the asterisk ( * ) for text strings, and the question mark ( ? ) for single characters. This wildcard expression... Will apply to these text strings... a*t although, attitude, audit file?.htm files.htm, file1.htm, filer.htm name?.* names.txt, name.doc, named.blank, names.ext just search on spider in the docs.

I'm thinking of just moving the file in question to a directory outside the index parameters.... Would be nice to know a way to do it when using the "CFCOLLECTION" tag though.... -- Les Mizzell ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- "People need to realize that every time they mention about how "fragile" our planet is, it's like asking outer-space aliens to come invade us."
