I am new to cold fusion, and I know how to read/write to files, but the problem I am having is searching files. My file contains:

Employee_ID Job_Title Job_StartDate Job_EndDate

My problem is whenever an employees changes job titles, I append to the file the new informaiton, so it is possible to have the same Employee_ID twice (but with different job titles, start date, and end date).

Is there a way to search this file and get all the results?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Logic :

Get the contents of the file -> transfer that contents to the array.
-> Each element of the array will represent each line of the file.
-> Seperate out each sub - element from that array element(row) i.e. Employee_id job_title start_date end_date
-> Compare two employee_ids and display the corresponding results.

You might have to use:
ListToArray() , ArraytoList() ......
