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="read" file="my_file.txt" variable="big_file">
<cfoutput>
<!--- parse file and print in a table --->
<table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"
width="100%">
<cfloop list="#big_file#" index="sub_list" delimiters="#chr(13)##chr(10)#">
<tr>
<cfloop list="#sub_list#" index="item" delimiters="#chr(9)#">
<td>#item#</td>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</cfloop>
</table>
</cfoutput>
