Thanks for the prompt reply.

That's correct.

No. I should have explained myself more. I need to read every scan every file
in the directory. (~100) And then read that file's content to stuff into an
array.

:) Thanks, didn't know that.

Cool. I don't code x-platform, but this info will be useful if I ever have to.

Thanks for reminding me about the list functions. I drew a complete blank. I
rewrote the code:
<cfloop from="1" to="#dirs.recordcount#" index="go">
<cfset numb[go] = listgetat(filetemp,go,chr(13)&chr(10))>
</cfloop>
Works like a charm. I have other uses for the numb array, hidden code, so don't
fret, as I know it will be re-written with every iteration.
