With CFFILE you're only able to read the entire file into a variable. Treat
the file contents as a list, using carriage returns and/or line feeds as
delimiters. Because of the way CF handles lists and delimiters, the
following code works regardless of whether carriage returns, line feeds or
any comibination of the two were used between lines.
<cffile action="read" file="c:\myfile.txt" variable="x">
<cfloop index="line" list="#x#" delimiters="#Chr(13)##Chr(10)#">
<!--- do whatever you need with 'line' --->
...
</cfloop>
