    Default Reading text files on client?

    Because of security concerns of my company, I anticipate that they won't let me
    allow users to upload, then read, then delete a text file. Is there a way
    coldfusion can read the text file without first uploading it to the server?

    Alas no. As a 'Server-Side' technology ColdFusion cannot do anything unless it
    is on the server. It is quite easy to make uploading secure as you do have a
    lot of control. For example you can save the file where you like, rename it,
    enforce whatever extension you like, and if you don't like it then delete it.

    If it's just text, you might be able to give the user a TEXTAREA and load it into a database.

    You mean copy and paste the text into the form and then load it into a database?
