Unused files....

[Nazgyl]

Hi people, can anyone guide me on this
there is a table in my db that contains filenames/path of files that get
uploaded to the webserver
and from time to time, those files gets updated... and the new location of
the updated files gets updated in the db

i want to create a page where i can see the files that is found lets say in
the folder "uploadeddocs" on the webserver
that are not linked to any record in the database, in other words old unused
documents...

please any guidelines/snippets tutorials :)

i am using dmx04 / asp vb / pureupload extension from dmxzone.com

thank you

The function that you are thinking about is built into DW but I do not know
of any components or snippets that will do this on the server. You will have
to write something from scratch.

The first thing you need to get a list of the files in the folder for which
you would use FSO. There is a good article on using it to go though the
contents of a folder that is found at

Rather then outputting the items to the page initially you would then need
to create a query that tested for the filename in the database.
