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.

Asunto: cffile: read in excel file

I'm trying to read in an excel file and it does so, but the output is 
crap.  Well the data is in there, but there's alot of extraneous data 
which shows up as unrecognizable characters.  I thought that excel 
was tab delimited with char returns at the end of each line.  Maybe 
I'm wrong for assuming this.
Is there a way to read this in where it just shows up in that way? 
Should I export it differently first?  Here's the code that I'm using.

<cftry>
      <cffile
           action="read"
           file="#form.db_file#"
           variable="file_contents">
           <cfcatch type="Any">
                #cfcatch.message#
           </cfcatch>
</cftry>

file_contents:<br>#file_contents#

thanks!
