how about

<cffile action="read" file="myFile.txt" variable="myFile">
<cfset firstRow = listFirst(myFile, Chr(10))>

That will give you the first row

only thing is you have to load the whole file into memory to do it

I think you will have to use some Java Classes to do that, CF does not
provide this.

Subject: [cfaussie] Retrieving a portion of a text file

Anyone know of a way to retrieve a portion of a text file without loading
the whole file into memory e.g. CFFILE action="read"?

I potentially have a very large delimited file but I only want to read the
first row it contains.
