can't list files in a directory

coldfusion

Solution

I've just tried this:

<cfset fileLocation = "\\192.168.8.20\websites">
<cfdirectory 
  action = "list"
  directory = "#fileLocation#"
  name = "pass_fail_files"
  >
<cfdump var="#pass_fail_files#" expand="yes"   label="files in pass-fail" >

On CF7, CF8 and Railo, and works everytime.

Notice I updated your code so it uses the directory attribute as directory = "#fileLocation#" as opposed to directory = fileLocation.

Trying your code, I never got results, but didn't get errors either. Changing it to use double-quotes and hashes did the trick, as it stopped using it as a variable.

Hope it helps you.

Problem

I'm using CF 7 and this code is not returning any files: ``` <cfset fileLocation = "\\server\uploader\pass-fail"> <cfdirectory action = "list" directory = fileLocation name = "pass_fail_files" > <cfdump var="#pass_fail_files#" expand="yes" label="files in pass-fail" > <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.name#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.directory#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.size#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.type#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.dateLastModified#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.attributes#</cfoutput> <cfoutput>#pass_fail_files.mode# </cfoutput> ``` I have checked to make sure that the directory indeed has several text files. But when I run the code, all I get is: alt text http://img682.imageshack.us/img682/5603/nofiles.png What am I doing wrong?
