this one of my BIGGEST dislikes about CF. Whenever you read a file, it put the entire file into a variable. There is no way to "open" and file and read one line at a time. So if you have a 35 meg file and just want to read the last line, CF would throw the entire 35 meg file into memory and that could take a while on your server and bring it down. Hopefully with NEO there will be away around this with JAVA.

CFFILE READs whole file into 1 var? Is there a limit on the size of the contents of that file? Is there an alternative way to read and process one record at a time in the traditional fashion? I had to parse thru the file looking for CR's and CFLOOP thru the logic. Seems strange, but if that's the way we must do it, when in Poughkeepsie, do as the... nevermind... how do YOU process each record in a flat file?
