CFX programming is done in either Java or C++ (others?). Java is by far the
easier to learn though. I cant really speak for C, but the process for
interfacing with CF via the Java CFX api is prettty simple as long as you
understand Java. I dont know if I have formal programming experience, but I
picked up enough Java to do what you want just hitting the books at night
and on the weekends for 3 or 4 months.
However text parsing is such a common task that there are many tools out
there that could help. SQL Server's BCP might do the trick, then you could
play with the data via TSQL. Access has some kind of text import capability
too. Depending on your platform (unix/win) a shell script could do this too.
Even Studio's VTML engine supports the necessary functions (i'm not
suggesting it though)... :)
