> You could also treat it like two lists right?
You could definately use the list functions to loop through line by line
(using a CRLF as the delimiter as your code did), but you would encounter
two main problems with parsing out the line numbers:
1) Not every line in the file contains the same format of data, so the list
functions would choke on lines that did not contain the folio data (for
example, the "S U M M A R Y O F F O L I O S / L E A D" header). To be
safe you'd need to compare each line against a regular expressions anyway to
make sure that it is a line you wanted to process, so it just makes sense to
use regular expressions from the get-go.
2) Each parseable line contains a string like so:
001>folio: 165 . . . 011.50 points free
It was my understanding that the posted wanted the "165" part of that
string, NOT the "001>" part. It looked to me like your code would treat
each line as a ">" delimited list and would grab the first element in that
list which would be the "001" part.
If this WAS the desired result then your function would work great, although
I would first validate that the line was well-formed:
<cfloop from="1" to="#listLen(sIN, delimiter)#" index="i">
<cfset temp = listGetAt(sin,i, delimiter)>
<cfif ListLen(temp, ">") EQ 2> <!--- make sure the line is
well-formed --->
<cfset arPages[i] = listGetAt(temp, 1, ">">
</cfif>
<cfloop>
