CFdirectory

I am using CFDIRECTORY to display the contents of a directory, but I want to pass the value of a variable into the path. I have tried the method below, without success.

<cfset #test# = &quot;e:\web\xyz\#variable#\images&quot;>

<CFDIRECTORY directory = #test# NAME=&quot;myDirectory&quot; SORT=&quot;name ASC, size DESC&quot; action=&quot;LIST&quot;>

Can anyone suggest a way of listing the contents of a directory, using this, or another method.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you are trying to set a variable with a variable name
Remove the '#' and it wil work fine.

<cfset #test# = &quot;e:\web\xyz\#variable#\images&quot;>

<cfset test = &quot;e:\web\xyz\#variable#\images&quot;>

<cfdirectory
action=&quot;LIST&quot;
directory=&quot;#test#&quot;
name=&quot;myDirectory&quot;
sort=&quot;name ASC, size DESC&quot;>
