>- see footer for list info -< Another thing to consider, do all these files *need* to be in the same directory?
For example, if you're doing some form of archiving, you could use several sub-directories, and if you can divide the directories in a suitable way, you might only need to consider certain ones, which of course reduces the number of files you're looking at. Oh, and if you still occasionally need to consider all files together, some people might think sub-dirs make this more fiddly - but they don't; you can use the recursion flags ( <cfdirectory recurse ... /> or "dir \B \S" or "ls -1R" ) to grab all the files together. One more thought - depending how the files might get created, is it feasible to keep a seperate log of the information you need, which is calculated when the files are changed and/or with a scheduled task, and then you can just read a file/db entry to get it? Might not be viable options, just throwing some ideas about. :) _______________________________________________ For details on ALL mailing lists and for joining or leaving lists, go to http://list.cfdeveloper.co.uk/mailman/listinfo -- CFDeveloper Sponsors:- >- cfdeveloper Hosting provided by www.cfmxhosting.co.uk -< >- Lists hosted by www.Gradwell.com -< >- CFdeveloper is run by Russ Michaels, feel free to volunteer your help -<
