I've had some experience with importing other text file based stuff from external applications, mainly vCal (.vcs) files. Basically it requires a lot of parsing. You loop line by line through the text file pulling out the data you want. Get friendly with functions like SpanExcluding, Left, Right, Mid, and RemoveChars. For example:
<cfset line = SpanExcluding(yourtextfileasastring, Chr(10) & Chr(13))> ....will give you a single line of text with the linefeed and carriage return removed. Then you do Find(textyourelookingfor, line) to see if that line is something you need. Finally parse out the name, address or whatever using Left, Right, Mid or RemoveChars, and insert into your database.
