Here's some ideas off the top of my head: turn it into an XML file. Put a parent tag around all of your content, and then parse every instance of "~" and replace it with an appropriate set of child tags. Then you can parse it with an XML parser. I know there's some potential gotchas, but it's an idea.
Alternately, you could parse the whole thing as a list, with "~" as your delimiter. Another possibility: parsing with CF may have some performance issues, since it requires you to load the entire file at once. However, ADO allows you to stream files in - can't remember the exact object you'd use. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee Fuller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 10:38 AM Subject: RE: getting xxx from <xxx> (New Question) > Ok..
