You might want to start by replacing ",#Chr(10)##Chr(13)##Chr(10)##Chr(13)#" with a pipe or something. Then you can just loop thru the pipe for each line. DRE

I've been trying to read the file using CFFILE but cannot parse it properly This is the file: "SUS","BUTTER","1876334568","Attracting Butterflies to Your Garden","CLYNE DENSEY",23.95,1,"TP","", "SUS","CATTLE","0882660667","Family Cow","VAN LOON DIRK",29.95,2,"PB","", "SUS","CATTLE","0911311688","Natural Cattle Care ACRES USA ED","COLEBY PAT",49.50,0,"TP","", "SUS","COMPOS","0670904678","Australian Self Sufficiency Ha","SMITH KEITH",39.95,0,"TP","1992", "SUS","CONIFE","1876473312","Gardening With Conifers","BLOOM ADRIAN",42.90,0,"HB","2001", "SUS","COOKIN","0732265517","Best of Jackie French","FRENCH JACKIE",24.95,1,"TP","", "SUS","COWSMI","086417120X","Keeping a Cow","WILSON JIM",0,0,"TP","1987", I don't know how to get rid of the last comma in each line, and then how to parse with a blank line between each record. I've tried this <CFFILE action="READ" file="D:\InetPub\wwwroot\_Candelo\database\candeloweb1603.txt" variable="Candelo"> <!--- Set a variable to hold the ascii values for a line break and a carriage return ---> <CFSET new_line=Chr(10) & Chr(13)> <!--- Loop thru lines of text ---> <CFLOOP index="i" list="Candelo" delimiters="new_line"> <cfoutput>#Candelo#</cfoutput><BR> </CFLOOP> and get this (but repeated three times!) "SUS","BUTTER","1876334568","Attracting Butterflies to Your Garden","CLYNE DENSEY",23.95,1,"TP","", "SUS","CATTLE","0882660667","Family Cow","VAN LOON DIRK",29.95,2,"PB","", "SUS","CATTLE","0911311688","Natural Cattle Care ACRES USA ED","COLEBY PAT",49.50,0,"TP","", "SUS","COMPOS","0670904678","Australian Self Sufficiency Ha","SMITH KEITH",39.95,0,"TP","1992", "SUS","CONIFE","1876473312","Gardening With Conifers","BLOOM ADRIAN",42.90,0,"HB","2001", "SUS","COOKIN","0732265517","Best of Jackie French","FRENCH JACKIE",24.95,1,"TP","", "SUS","COWSMI","086417120X","Keeping a Cow","WILSON JIM",0,0,"TP","1987", Can anyone give me some clues or help please Many thanks Seamus ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
