Coldfusion reading specific line from text file

Question

I want to read only line #2 from a text file, but unfortunately have found no clue how to do this. Are there any solutions besides looping and breaking when the row is found?

Answer 1

Step 1 - Read the file to a variable:

<cffile action = "read" file = "yourFile" variable = "fileContents">

Step 2 - Treat the variable as a chr(10) delimited list and get the second row.

line2 = ListGetAt(fileContents, 2, chr(10));
