let's say my file contains 3 main parts. a person's name, age, and sex.
the key to your problem, or to the solution, whichever, AHH!!, is to read
the text file as a list, and pull out whichever part you want. so
therefore, you separate those parts with a delimiter, preferably a character
that doesn't get used often. I prefer ~
so, your text file should look something like Mr. Pooh Bear~19~Male
When u do your CFFILE Read, and u want only the name, to get your desired
"part" would be like
#ListGetAt(outputvar, 1)#
hope u knock it out!

I can use cffile to import a text document, but I'd like to only import one
part of this file, how can I do this?
thanks,
Pete
