Re: Evaluate vs ?
if you generate the content files and save them as static files, you can just cfinclude them into your cfmail then you won't need to evaluate them.

Re: Evaluate vs ?
I'm going to have to do some serious thinking about this. Performance on the mailer is a lot slower than I'd like, and I suspect its because I'm using evaluate. Here's what happens: 1) Customer saves their message content, which might look something like: Dear #firstname# #lastname#: Blah blah blah 2) When they approve the message for sending, I queue the messages as: MessageID (referencing the previous message) MemberID (referencing the member tables which contain all the information) It then cfloops through each memberid, using evaluate to put in the correct member information, and generates personalized emails. I'm not the strongest programmer in the world, so this took some time to work out. Biggest issue is I'm shortly taking on a much larger customer than I've dealt with before, so mailing sizes will increase from 20-30k per mailing to upwards of 200-300k messages. Problem is, I have no way of knowing what the message content will be before its sent, nor which variables the customer will choose to use in a particular mailing (they have about 45 fields to choose from). Hmm.

the variable must exist or you cannot evaluate it. In my example I specified saving the content to a file and cfincluding it, which is not what you have done below.

RE: Evaluate vs ?
> Is there a time when evaluate should be used? Nick's answer is pretty much on target. It used to be the case that you needed to do this, because in some cases you had no way to reference variable names when you didn't know them until runtime. As CF's scopes became exposed as structures, the need to do this has diminished significantly. That said, there presumably may be a time when you want to take an arbitrary string and treat it as an expression, and Evaluate will be there for you.

Ok, guess I am missing something here: If #variable# is not set CF errors, If #variable# is set puts value into foo. #foo#---foo would output to be "fee fi fo fum #variable# this is dynamic content" is what was wanted?? -not necessarily outputted, but to still contains the #variable# unresolved?

for this type of thing you can simply save the dynamic content as a file and cfinclude it between your cfmail tags. No need to evaluate anything then.

You mean you create a textual email template for each new mailing which includes some raw CFML for the mail-merge fields? That seems a pretty good case for using Evaluate() to me. Unless it's giving you bad performance problems - if so, I guess you would be forced to restructure your system so that your email template is no longer "data", but a compiled CFML template.

Re: Evaluate vs ?
Sometimes I send out emails through my system which dynamically generate the content from variables: example: Last year you gave $#lsnumberformat(lastyear, "9.99")# to support our work. This year we hope you'll give $#lsnumberformat(lastyear*2, "9.99")#. My mailer routine uses evaluate against the string to parse out those values, then it is sent out via cfmail inside a loop. If Evaluate() isn't recommended, is there a better way to do this? Typically this type of mailing might go out to 10 or 12 thousand emails at once.

Dan, This was close, but acts strange. I can do the following: #myObject.getFirstName()# --- outputs correctly. --- throws error #myFN# The error thrown by the doMethod() line is coming from the Object CFC. It says it that variables.FirstName is not defined, which is what the getter is getting. It is as though it doesn't recognize it as the same object.

Re: Evaluate vs ?
> > ---Throws error > > Other try: > ---Also errors It's just a shoot in the dark, but, in my experience, if you want to dinamically define the method's name gives you more flexibility, since you only have to pass a variable or CFML expression to the method attribute. The same it's true for whenever you want to dynamically generate the arguments. Don't get me wrong, I prefer dot notation myself (I find it easier to read), but is handy on certain cases.

I think the bigger issue is the question where that string expression originates. With the example posted by Stan doesn't pose much risk, we have probably all seen the following code: In this example, you are essentially running user generated code inside your website. It is still limited to whatever Evaluate() accepts, but you can get all sorts of interesting information if you submit a form with a field named StructKeyList(session) or StructClear(application).

RE: Evaluate vs ?
You really don't even need the val() function.
Using a foreach loop dramatically increases the speed of looping through
collections.
if(isDefined('form.fieldnames')) {
// remove elements that you don't want
structDelete(form,'fieldnames');
structDelete(form,'submit');
structDelete(form,'searchstring');
for(it IN form) {
writeOutput(it & ':' & form[it] & '');
}
}
