Read in the file... Then convert the data into a Java string: <cfset jstrFileData = CreateObject( "java", "java.lang.String" ).Init( strFileData ) />
Java strings are MUCH faster and MUCH more powerful in terms of regular expressions you might need. You can even split the java string into an array based on lines using the Java String::Split() method which takes a regular expression. Or you can create a Java file reader and read in a line at a time which should make it less RAM-intensive as you stream in the file (I think). I don't really have any examples off hand, but Java is pretty lean and mean. .......................

I have a file that I am doing a ton of parsing on. It's has fake encryption (basically obsfucation) and I am doing a ton of listgets and going through each line and putting it into a structure. The thing is it's only a 1.7mb file, but it's bringing my pretty beefy server to its knees. DTS and Microsoft SQL server and even sql_loader for Oracle is not an option as I am basically decrypting this file. Anyone have any ideas on what i can do to make this process leaner?
