Thanks Terry,

Maybe as a last resort but I think I'm just compounding my problems if I head 
down that path.

Hi,

Using CF6.1...

Occasionally the 'dateLastModified' returned by cfdirectory is not really a 
date, well not according to the dateformat() function anyway...

=======================================================================================
Error Occurred While Processing Request
The value "Wednesday, 13 July 2005 12:16:36 PM WST" could not be converted to a 
date.
=======================================================================================

Without getting into the specifics of trying to parse dates, shouldn't 
cfdirectory be returning a 'date' that can be used by dateformat()? *Surely* it 
should be...

The documentation says:

If action = "list", cfdirectory returns these result columns, which you can 
reference in a cfoutput tag:

name: directory entry name. The entries "." and ".." are not returned.
size: directory entry size
type: file type: File, for a file; Dir, for a directory
dateLastModified: the date that an entry was last modified
attributes: file attributes, if applicable

So, "the date that an entry was last modified" suggests a 'date' but it would 
appear to be a string. And not a valid date string at that...

Is it because the server is running with non-US date formats? But I would 
expect CF to handle this...

Perhaps someone can point me to a java function called something like 
"getFileAttributes()" to use instead?


Many thanks,

Brett
