count no. of files

[dynason]

how could we count the no. of files (*.txt) in a directory?

a.txt
b.txt
c.doc
result should be 2.

[Newsgroup_User]

use cfdirectory tag with NAME and FILTER attributes, i.e.
<cfdirectory ... NAME="myDir" FILTER="*.txt">

then #myDir.recordcount# will give you the number of .txt files in your dir.

it's all in the docs, by the way...

Take a look at the file management category, specifically cfdirectory. You can use its "filter" attribute to search for text files only. Then use the result set "recordCount" to obtain the total number of files found.
