I think I've heard other people say this before, too, but CF isn't
necessarily for every task. If this is a one-time script, it might be =
okay,
but if this is something to be used in a production environment, perhaps
something like Perl would be a faster solution...
If you are committed to doing this in CF, you can do stuff with Regular
Expressions (my favorite!) or with list functions. I would guess lists
would work best:
<!--- read file --->
<cffile action=3D"read" file=3D"my_file.txt" variable=3D"big_file">
<cfoutput>
<!--- parse file and print in a table --->
<table border=3D"1" align=3D"center" cellpadding=3D"3" cellspacing=3D"1"
width=3D"100%">
<cfloop list=3D"#big_file#" index=3D"sub_list" =
delimiters=3D"#chr(13)##chr(10)#">
<tr>
<cfloop list=3D"#sub_list#" index=3D"item" =
delimiters=3D"#chr(9)#">
<td>#item#</td>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
</cfoutput>
<!--- EOF --->
