Dynamic structure key names
Hi all, I'm stuck on the syntax for this. I have a structure. What I'm trying to do is loop over a query, and create a new structure (dynamically named with the primary key of the record as a structure key) with three values from that record. I think I must be doing something wrong syntax-wise, and I can't find any examples in the docs or the archives. I have tried these (within a query loop): cfset payment.[due.pkWebUser] = StructNew() cfset payment.evaluate(due.pkWebUser) = StructNew() cfset payment.#due.pkWebUser# = StructNew() But nothing is working so far. Any ideas on how to do this or how it can be done easier?

Any ideas on how to do this or how it can be done easier? Try this. Just had a similar problem... cfset payment[#due.pkWebUser#] = StructNew() Then when you want to set a key, you can just do: cfset variables.temp = StructInsert(payment[#due.pkWebUser#], keyName, value) Hope this helps, Dave. __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Dynamic structure key names
I'm jumping in late on this one, but I wanted to throw in my two cents.
Structures (and arrays) are *so* much easier in cfscript, it's not even funny.
cfset payment = structNew()
cfloop query=queryName
cfscript
if (NOT structKeyExists(payment, pkWebUser) {
payment[pkWebUser] = structNew();
}
/cfscript
/cfloop
Throwing in the if statement prevents the structure from being overwritten if there
are duplicate records in the query. This way you can make nested structures much
easier.
(In case nobody else pointed it out, you don't need the dot when using the array
notation.)

Subject: Dynamic structure key names
Hi all,
I'm stuck on the syntax for this. I have a structure. What I'm trying to
do is loop over a query, and create a new structure (dynamically named
with the primary key of the record as a structure key) with three values
from that record. I think I must be doing something wrong syntax-wise,
and I can't find any examples in the docs or the archives.
I have tried these (within a query loop):
cfset payment.[due.pkWebUser] = StructNew()
cfset payment.evaluate(due.pkWebUser) = StructNew()
cfset payment.#due.pkWebUser# = StructNew()
But nothing is working so far. Any ideas on how to do this or how it can
be done easier?
Kay.
