I figured it out....
thanks,

<cffile action="READ" file="/var/www/html/af/testfile.txt" variable="txt">
<cfset rowcount = 0>
<cfloop list="#txt#" delimiters="#chr(10)#" index="i">
<cfset rowcount = rowcount +1 >
<cfif i contains "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]">
==========<br>
<cfset rowcount = 1>
</cfif>
<cfif rowcount GT 7 AND rowcount LT 24>
<cfquery INSERT statement goes here>
<cfoutput>#i#<br></cfoutput>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
I need a couple of pointers on text file processing.
First I use <cffile> to get the file into a memory variable
Now I need to:
- parse the file one line at a time searching for a specific string and when I find it
- read 7 more lines and then begin reading the next 15 lines, one line at a time,
writing the contents to a database.
- after 15 of these lines I repeat the search for the next record set.
- reach EndOfFile and terminate
thanks,
Brian
