It seems like you would want a sequence instead of a random number. That
way, you would not have to build logic to check for dupes.

Subject: Check for dupes...Problem
Does anybody know how to check for duplicate directory names?
If it helps...
I'm creating unique directories using a random number that is associated
with a user. Which all their uploaded
files will be dump into. What I am trying to figure out is how to check is
the directory already exists, if it
does, then skip the "create directory" section and just upload more files...
---------------------snip-----------------------------------------------
<cfoutput>
<cfset unique="UID" & #Round(RandRange(0,2000000))#>
<!--- Need a check for dupes here --->
<cfdirectory action="create" directory="#request.hardpath##unique#">
<cffile action="UPLOAD"
accept="application/*,text/*"
filefield="uploadfile1"
nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE"
destination="#request.hardpath##unique#">
</cfoutput>
---------------------snip-----------------------------------------------
if a directory(name) does not already exists
create one
otherwise just upload files into existing...
Hope this makes sense...
