The only method i'm aware of is to use <cfhttp> then you can execute a query
off that. Looks like:
<cfhttp method="get"
url=http://www.yoursite.net/foo.txt (<--should be quotes around
that)
name="grabTextFile"
delimiter=",">
Then you can output it just like a cfquery like so:
<cfouput query="grabTextFile">#grabTextFile.columnName#</cfoutput>
Thats straight from the text book. I have not had opportunity to try this in
real life so I can't comment reliably on performance.
