I'll agree with Robert that CF is slow at file/text manipulation (I really hope they improve this in the next version, and yes I've bugged sent in a feature request). That said, you can loop over the file var with cr/lf as your delimiters, and then each loop item, or in this case each row, will be a list. CF has a lot of builtin functions for manipulating lists.
