RE: cffile: read in excel file
What's a CSV file? If you read an CSV file.. you can see directly the output If you don't , you need to use one of the CFX_ tags to read excel Using Java or COM Objects.

RE: cffile: read in excel file
OK CSV is some type of file format. I can export this file however I need to get the job done. I exported two ways: 1 - as a tab delimeted text file and 2 - as a CSV. They appear to be similar. Neither one of them seem to display line breaks on the web but they do break on rows when I view the files in a text editing program. Seem like I should be able to listtoarray() these if I could figure out the end-of-line and format the data first. While it would be nice to not have to export and make this a more general use tool, the important thing at the moment is to get the data in the db without typing it all again. All thoughts on this are welcome. If you read an CSV file.. you can see directly the output If you don't , you need to use one of the CFX_ tags to read excel Using Java or COM Objects.
