Well, I see it as using a better tool for the task. ColdFusion is clearly not good for large text processing tasks. You can probably find a work around (sounds like you already did), but Perl is very easy to pickup, and it absolutely smokes at text processing tasks. For example, I have a Perl script that maps database activity for our entire site. We have 206 cfm files, which average around 260 lines each. My script reads in each file, one at a time, and parses the file one line at a time. It takes about 6 seconds for the script to run, start to finish. And that includes reading 206 cfm files from a network drive, and then writing a separate 206 documentation files to that drive. ColdFusion just doesn't compare, when it comes to speed. At least not yet, but I have mentioned in surveys that I'd like CF's text processing to be faster. I am not suggesting that you replace all your CF code with Perl, just that Perl rocks for text processing. ;) ------------------ [INFO] -- Access Manager: This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
