Re: Folder Names

[Russell Patterson]

Actually, my mistake....I did not read it good enough.  I just figured it out.  Type is one of the results or variables returned from the <CFDIRECTORY> query.   For an example:   <CFDIRECTORY action="" directory="C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\" name="yesfile"> <CFLOOP query="yesfile">     <CFIF yesfile.type eq "Dir">         <CFOUTPUT>#name# - #type#<BR></CFOUTPUT>     </CFIF> </CFLOOP>   Thanks again!
