If you're trying to parse a text file line by line, it's typically done by
looping over the file, as a list, using an appropriate EOL character(s) as
the delimiter. In this case I'll use ASCII character 13, the carriage
return.
Try something like this (if it's what you need):
<CFSET int_count = 0>
<CFLOOP List="#FileContents#" Delimiters="#Chr(13)#" Index="idx">
<CFSET int_count = (int_count + 1)>
<CFOUTPUT>
<!--- 'idx' will be a line of the file --->
<!--- Ex. Line 1: This is the first line.
Line 2: This is the second line. --->
Line #int_count#: #idx#<br>
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFLOOP>

Thanks for that,
I know most of the string functions...but how do I do a mid
(string,start,end) which starts at the beginning of a line, and gets a copy
of the complete line...and then repeat this for every line in the text
file?? I guess i don't know how I can determine thevales for the start, end
params.
Any ideas?
