Actually it's a little bit more complicated than this. The com.Ostermiller.util.ExcelCSVParser utility returns a Java array which is has a Vector type and not the coldfusion array type. Unfortunately (and something that I cannot explain) some lines that have empty fields are not pick up. I need something to dynamically resize the java array (the java array doesn't have a resize feature to force ) or cast it to a cf array type.
