That's right. The "type" columns returned in the query resultset from
CFDIRECTORY can have a value of either "File" or "Dir". (Worth noting the
case-sensitivity for some types of comparisons one may do.)
And you could indeed do a loop over the results to subset them. Another
approach in CF 5 is to use Query of Queries to achieve the same result.
Here's an example that finds the subdirectories in the current directory
(uses expandpath(".") to get the directory holding the template being run) :
<CFDIRECTORY ACTION="LIST" DIRECTORY="#expandpath(".")#" NAME="getfiles">
<cfquery DBTYPE="query" NAME="getonlydirs">
select * from getfiles
where type = 'Dir'
</cfquery>
<h4>Subdirectories within the current directory:</h4>
<cfoutput query="getonlydirs">
#name#<br>
</cfoutput>
Again, notice that the type='Dir' is critical. CF 5's query of queries is
case-sensitive, so type="dir" would find nothing.

PS This example comes right out of my daylong seminar on CF5. It's just
coincidental that the example I used to demonstrate how QofQ works with ANY
tag producing a resultset happened to be on this subject of subsetting
CFDIRECTORY results. More info at http://www.systemanage.com/CF5inDepth.cfm

THe Query returned by CFDIRECTORY as a column "Type" which is either file or
dir if I'm not mistaken, Loop on the query displaying only the directories
that way.
