Depending on what line separator(s) are used... you can do it a few different ways. But ones that come to mind this instant are...
1. Use a regular expression, I don't use the builtin regexp coldfusion stuff 2. Search and replace on two instance of the separator(s), then clean the last line, if exists 3. Loops lines and manually parse, removing startline+whitespace+endline if it appears 4. Write or have someone write a simple custom tag that does this if you need efficiency, future use, & ease. ----- Original Message ----- From: "C.
