cfloop

        DB insert here using listrow

        cfloop

        /cfloop

/cfloop

should do it.

As an aside, nameconflict="OVERWRITE" has no meaning with an action of READ.

Subject: Looping over a variable from CFFILE


I'm having difficulty understanding what happening behind the scenes of the
CFLOOP below. I hope I explain this properly. The code below reads in an
external file then based on the tabs, carriage returns etc. outputs in a
table format. What I want to do is get each tab entry into a variable so I
can shove it into a database but I'm not sure how?

This is what I have so far...

<cffile action="READ"
        file="C:\mywork\list.txt"
            nameconflict="OVERWRITE"
        variable="results">


<cfloop index="listrow" list="#results#" delimiters="#chr(10)#">

<cfloop index="thiscol" list="#listrow#" delimiters="#chr(10)#,#chr(9)#,'
','=',';'">
<td class="dirlinks">
<cfoutput>#thiscol#</cfoutput>
</td>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</cfloop>

This outputs in a table with 5 tabs

entry1      entry2       entry3        entry4     entry5
entry1      entry2       entry3        entry4     entry5
entry1      entry2       entry3        entry4     entry5
entry1      entry2       entry3        entry4     entry5


How can I "grab" each entry and shove it into a variable so I can add it to
a database as the CFLOOP loops through file I read in?
