FileNamesLowerCase(directory [, recurseDirectory] [, excludeList])
Last updated October 15, 2002
Version: 1 | Requires: ColdFusion MX | Library: FileSysLib
Description:
This UDF is a quick way to make all the files in a particular directory (or directory tree, optionally) lower case.
It was originally built for a project that needed to move from Windows to *nix and needed to make all custom tags lower cased.
You can also put in a list of files to exclude.
Return Values:
Returns nothing.
Example:
//fileNamesLowerCase(expandPath("./"),TRUE,"Application.cfm,OnRequestEnd.cfm");
</cfscript>
Parameters:
| Name | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| directory | Directory to begin renaming files in. | Yes |
| recurseDirectory | If true, UDF will recurse into subdirectories. Defaults to false. | No |
| excludeList | List of files to ignore. Defaults to nothing. | No |
