Loop over the form.fieldnames variable and check the start of the string

<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="i">
        <cfif left(i,4) is 'name'>
                <cfset myvalue = form[i]>
                <cfbreak>
        </cfif>
</cfloop>

Subject: Getting the value of a hidden form field with changing names


I have a form that has a hidden field whose value is set using a jquery
function. That hidden field's name is also set on the fly and has digits
appended to it (eg. name-01 or name-99). These numbers change each time the
form is loaded. 

When the form is submitted through a post, how do I grab the value of that
hidden field if I only know the root of that name (as a result of digits
being appended to it each time)?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.
