The following example creates a variable named "Message" that will contain the contents of the file message.txt.
<CFFILE ACTION="Read"
FILE="c:\web\message.txt"
VARIABLE="Message">
The variable "Message" could then be used in the page. For example, you could display the contents of the message.txt file in the final Web page:
<CFOUTPUT>#File.Message#</CFOUTPUT>
ColdFusion supports a number of powerful functions for manipulating the contents of text files. You can also use variable created by a CFFILE Read operation in ArrayToList and ListToArray functions.
See String Functions and Array Functions for more information about working with strings and arrays.
