Agreed. However, Perl was one of the first popular web scripting languages, is still used today for a lot of sites, and there are still a lot of Perl web developers out there. So I think Perl vs. CF is a fair comparison. I know that CF smokes Perl in a lot of respects, but since CF runs on top of Java, and Java can handle large text files just fine (from what I've heard), it's seems odd to me that CF drops this ball. I'll reiterate, I'm not bashing CF, I love it as much as the next guy. I'm just offering my experience, and my opinion on this subject. And yes, I have done the go/wish thing for this gripe. -- My Sites: http://www.techfeed.net/blog/ http://www.cfquickdocs.com/ http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
