Actually, on page 828, they have listed on the center of the page:
 
size - Directory entry size
type - File type: File or Dir.
 
It specifically lists a "type" attribute.  I think it was a typo in the book.  To bad it does not exists though...
 
Thanks again for your help!

Hey Russell,
 
You might be getting "type" mixed up with "filter" attribute.
 
<cfdirectory action="" directory="C:/CFusionMX\wwwroot\">
returns all the directories and files in that directory.
 
If you use the filter,
<cfdirectory action="" directory="C:/CFusionMX\wwwroot\" filter="*.cfm">
will return just your ColdFusion files.
 
I don't know about a filter just for directories.  You might have to call the whole directory and write some code to just keep just the directories.  But this may be what you're asking...
 
Thanks,
Joe Kelly

Subject: Folder Names

Hello,
 
Hope all had a good Christmas.  I did.
 
I have searched everywhere and cant seem to find what I am looking for.
 
I need to see how I can use ColdFusion to give me a list of folder names in a given directory.  I thought you could do it with <CFDIRECTORY> - according to the Macromedia Developing ColdFusion MX Applications book that came with the server software, there is an attribute called type where you can specify file or folder.  I think it is a typo.
 
Do you know of another way to do it?
 
Thanks!
Russell
