Try this:
<cffile action="READ" file="foo" variable="mf">
<cfscript>
startpos=1;
stTime=refindnocase("DateTime\:[ ]*(\{[^\}]*\})",mf,startpos,"yes");
while(startpos LT len(mf) and startpos GT 0 and stTime.pos[1] GT 0){
if(arraylen(stTime.pos) GT 1)
timeval=mid(mf,stTime.pos[2],stTime.len[2]);
else timeval="";
writeoutput(timeval & "---");
startpos=stTime.pos[1]+stTime.len[1];
if(startpos GT 0){
stId=refindnocase("Message_Id\:[ ]*([^<]*)<p",mf,startpos,"yes");
if(arraylen(stId.pos) GT 1)
idval=mid(mf,stId.pos[2],stId.len[2]);
else idval="";
writeoutput(idval &"<br>");
startpos=stId.pos[1]+stId.len[1];
}
if (startpos GT 0)
stTime=refindnocase("DateTime\:[ ]*(\{[^\}]*\})",mf,startpos,"yes");
}
</cfscript>
