Reading text files

No, CF isn't that low-level. But you could do this in Java, then call your Java class from CF. I've found fileSeek () and FileSkipBytes (), that might do the trick. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now!

Is it not fun when one learns something new about something one has enjoyed using for so long! Yes, it is! And having been immersed recently in the verbose, nonfunctional cesspool of pure Java web development, I find myself missing CF a lot for those projects. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf

Unfortunately nothing there. That said, I kind of figured out a way to do it. The lego NXT MindStorms robot can be using Java. So you'd just have to build a few classes to handle the tasks, then call them through CreateObject etc. But hey it can't be that difficult, given what these high
