I think it would help immensely I think. I'd prefer to fight my way thru this in CF if at all possible and things are just complex enough that I may need to go the route of stax. Outside my comfort zone in terms of installing it on the server but I can likely figure it out. This morning I investigated the possibility of dropping into java and reading one line at a time, parsing out the text in that line... Its what I do in this file's CSV-format predecessor. But there are no CR's or LF's in the file so that is out. Thanks very much for that post and your thoughts. Incidentally if anyone is looking for an xml reader/editor that can almost instantly read these kinds of moster files, check out the free firstobject xml editor. http://www.firstobject.com/ -- --m@Robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342360 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
