cfdirectory

[Matthew]

Hopefully this will be easy...running on Windows Server 2003, Apache, CF8.

I tell it to delete a folder inside my "boxes" directory, it also deletes the
"boxes" directory also and everything in it.

<cfdirectory
directory="e:\Apache2.2\htdocs\sites\smart\dropbox\boxes\#deletedrop.drop_folder
_name#" action="delete" recurse="yes">

#deletedrop.drop_folder_name# is coming out as 21643-1(A)-jhkhj, so I know
that its getting the correct variable.

Example: I have a folder inside the directory "boxes" directory called
"21643-1(A)-jhkhj" that I want to delete and everything inside it. The above
code is deleting all directories inside the boxes directory including itself.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Matthew,

You mean that, it is actually deleting the "boxes" directory too?

[Matthew]

I don't mean to sound rude, but the first line of my post explains that, yes,
it deletes the boxes directory also. I just want it to delete on directory
inside the "Boxes" directory and all the contents inside that targeted folder.

Try putting a slash after #deletedrop.drop_folder_name#"

Also, if that variable is not correct, it will truncate and likely delete the boxes directory.
