I don't (necessarily) have the definitive answer you might be looking for, but I don't think CF solely can do what you want it to do. To do what you want to do, you would need to use the CFFILE tag. The problems with it (in this case) is that CFFILE will read the entire file into your server's memory before doing any sort of manipulation with the contents. So if you're server doesn't have boatloads of memory, you're out of luck. However, one thought that does come to mind as I'm writing this is to potentially set up a text driver datasource in your CF Administrator and then query the file that way. I'm not entirely sure how to do that (sorry!), but I think I've heard this being done before. Check out a source such as cfcomet.com for more info on this. I'm sure that if it can be done this way, they'll have the answer. Regards, Dave. ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
