That's a good idea. I don't have time to read all your articles, so could you tell me if you cover using regex to do parsing and find/replace, stuff like that? That's what I mean by text processing, not just file management. If people have done that stuff with Java, and found it's faster and more efficient than CF, I'd probably use that in the future instead of Perl.
