Read text files one line at a time with ColdFusion
This is a pretty basic use of the how to capitalize on ColdFusion / Java, but I recently had to show someone else how to do this as well as use it myself today to parse a very large CSV file.
<cfscript>
var f = "";
var endOfFile = false;
f = createObject("java","java.io.FileReader").init(arguments.csvFileLocation);
f = createObject("java","java.io.BufferedReader").init(f);
while (NOT endOfFile) {
line = f.readLine();
if (NOT isDefined("line")) {
endOfFile = true;
break;
} else if (len(line)) {
// {LINE PARSING CODE HERE}
}
}
f.close();
</cfscript>

In
an amazing show of talent and aggressiveness from both riders, Rossi
was able to finally stop the train that is Stoner. Knowing full well
that if he let Stoner stay in front for long that he was pull away,
Valentino made multiple daring and aggressive passes in order to
maintain his lead providing for some of the most exciting and breath
taking racing the sport has seen in many years.
In
short: The Dark Night continues what I think Batman should have always
been: Dark, gritty, sadistic and ugly. Heath Ledger steals the movie
with an amazing representation that makes Jack Nicolson's version look
like a cotton candy parody.
At
first I was not in favor of Heath's voice, but after several short
dialogues I was convinced it was just what was needed... Ledger’s
physical acting was immense; his ever so slight facial adjustments, the
way he walked and even held a knife was phenomenal. He even pulled off
some full theater audiance laugh grabs while never leaving his dark
character. The storyline behind the Joker was also perfect. No BS story
no cause to fight for... nope he just enjoys to fuck with humanity and
test people and their limits!

The Bad / Areas of improvement
I had to write a conversion utility to move an old database contained a few hundred thousand records from MySQL to MSSQL, making the structure more normalized and running some calculations, bla bla bla. In my need to bang this out quickly and since it was a one time throw it away app I wrote a quick ColdFusion script to do the transformation for me and save some time.
Not even 40 minutes into their "record breaking" download period of 24 hours and 
Thats right. When FireFox 3 goes live sometime in June they are hoping to declare a "download day" and set the record for most software downloads in 24 hours. You can check out their
