Re: Directory contents to list/array?
You can also do Java's File Class, which returns an array. I haven't
done speed tests, but it *should* be faster for big directories:
listDirectory =
createObject("java","java.io.File").init("/var/absolute/directory/path").list();
Let us know if it's faster for you

RE: Directory contents to list/array?
You don't necessarily need them in an array to do this. You can get at the data with your chosen index like so: #yourQuery["name"][yourRandomNumber]# Adrian -Original Message- From: Melissa Cope [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 July 2008 15:06 To: CF-Talk Subject: Directory contents to list/array? Here's the story: We have about 20 logos. We want a random four displayed. In and of itself this is not very complicated, but a third party wants to add and delete logos from the pool. It seems to me that the easiest way to do this (once we put in a self-admin section to upload/delete logos) would be to input the contents of the logo directory into an array, then use randrange to choose positions in the array (along with a listfind loop to make sure there aren't duplicates). My problem is that I can't figure out how to transfer the cfdirectory results to an array. Could you point me in the right direction?
