You might try using Hal Helms custom tag called querysim. I remember
reading something about it in his newsletter (which, if you do not receive,
you should). It sounded like it could do almost exactly what you are
looking to accomplish without the headaches.
Just a thought,

Subject: regular expression help
Hi folks.
I'm having the worst time using a regular expression to parse a text file. I
need to remove all non numeric character [A-Za-z], and all numbers except
the actual data table. I just need to get rid of the text headers and the
text/num footer. With my code I can almost get there, but the CRLF need to
be replaced in it. I have attached the text file if anyone is interested in
helping.
the data now looks something like this
Blah blah lots of text
a b c d e
df fdk kl; kjk jkl
--- --- --- --- -----
1.23 1.231 1.231 1.232 1.3232
1.55 1.363 1.232 1.545 1.2121
--------------------------------
lots more useless text plusa phone (555)555-5555
I need to strip everything but the actual data table so I can cfhttp the
columns and use the data.
Thanks in advance,
Michael T. Haynie
