Should be pretty simple:

You have a bunch of comment lines starting wih #

after that you have 2 lines of headings

after that n lines of data

the headings and are tab-separated,

So

1) cfhttp the site & get the vile in a variable

2) remove the comment lines

3 treat the remainder as a tab-delimited list of fields wtihin a  
cr-delimited list of lines.

lots of ways to handle this --

but if all you want is the last line, extract listlast with cr delimiter

the result is, itself a 5-position list with a tab seperator.
