Michael: I've used CFFILE to read a text file, but never tried anything beyond about 3 MB in size. No performance problems so far.

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.
