Wotcha,

I have a directory in an app which contains a massive amount of files
(>200,000)

Now periodically, I need to run through this dir and weed out redundant
files (ie delete them)

I used to use cfdirectory, until I discovered that using java.io.file.list()
was much more efficient.

However, even using that on a folder of 200,000+files is very slow.

Is there an alternative anyone can think of? All I need is the filename of
each file, rather than lastModified, filesize etc of each item, which is why
list() is great

Whilst I'm at it, is there a quicker way of getting the number of files in a
directory other than using list() and running arraylen() on it? Is there
anything in java land that literally just gives me the number of files?

Ta.

Rich
