You might want to look into the Java string-handling functions. There's probably something there that will serve and should be plenty fast.

I am reading the contents of a tab delimited text file using <cffile> and the new line character. It may have up to 8500 lines. The last line will have a single line of text that reads "eof,lines:WXYZ" where WXYZ is the number of lines in the file. This last line signifies that the file is complete and not a partial file. Once I load the contents of the file with <cffile>, what would be the *most efficient* way that I could verify that the last line of this text file contains the needed text "eof,lines:"? Would the <find> function be my best bet, or something else? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:275026 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
