Th P isn't part of the error itself, only an escaped P coming from CF's built in error handler, it does that sometimes. The most important bit is the lt; () which CF has conveniently escaped for you.

[snip] Ian, You need to read up on the usage of CFFILE and its actions. The action upload does not load the file into a variable, it moves the file from a temporary file created by the web server during the form submission to a real file some where on the harddisk of the server. You still need to read the file in once you have uploaded it somewhere appropriate. You have been told this previously by other response to your email. Please make sure you carefully read the responses you get and read the manual for the various CF tags and function you are using. Below is some code to help you out.

Re: Using Coldfusion with XML
Is it best to leave Coldfusion alone when it comes to dealing with XSLT and XML ? No, you can do this very neatly in CFMX using the XmlTransform() function. Also, the xml2query suggestion was a good one if you want to minimise lines of code. However, if efficiency is an issue and the XML is very simple and predictable, it may be worth writing your own lightweight parser to translate straight from XML to CSV without any intermediate steps.

If something is happening with the CSV afterwards, then you need to look at what you need in order to perform the next task. If the CSV is the end, then you probably don't need to involve CF other than to handle the file upload, just use the XSLT. If you want to save the generated CSV out somehow somewhere, then Nick's suggestion of the XMLTransform is probably the way to go. If you actually need to do something with the XML data in CF, but only need the CSV as a means of getting the data into CF, then xml2query will cut out the CSV middle-man giving you something easier to work with in CF. So basically, you need to think about what is next the application/data flow and process the XML accordingly.
