Re: CFLoop: Problem with variable wrapped in double quotes
use associative array notation: cfset variables['varMergerFile' i] = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_#i#.pdf Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ On 24/09/2009 04:44, Dakota Burns wrote: I have the following code below (codeblock 01), which outputs the following three lines correctly: CFSET varMergeFile1 = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_1.pdf CFSET varMergeFile2 = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_2.pdf CFSET varMergeFile3 = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_3.pdf [CODEBLOCK 01: BEGIN] !--- GET LIST LENGTH --- cfset printIt = 1212,1549,2003 cfset listLength = ListLen(#printIt#) !--- DISPLAY EVERY ELEMENT IN LIST --- cfset x = 1 cfloop index=i from=#x# to=#listLength# step=1 cfoutputCFSET varMergeFile#i# = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_#i#.pdf/cfoutputbr / /cfloop [CODEBLOCK 01: END] When I activate the cfset tag with angle brackets: CFSET varMergeFile#i# = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_#i#.pdf, I get this error: Invalid CFML construct found on line 11 at column 38. ColdFusion was looking at the following text: # I then wrap double quotes around varMergeFile#i#, and receive no error, but the file I'm outputting is invalid and I believe that variable is not being defined correctly. Is their another way to write the above where varMergeFile#i# is not required to be wrapped by double quotes? Thanks, Dakota ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFLoop: Problem with variable wrapped in double quotes
If you're trying to dynamically generate code to put in a file, you can't do it that way. Do this instead: !--- GET LIST LENGTH --- cfset printIt = 1212,1549,2003 cfset listLength = ListLen(#printIt#) !--- DISPLAY EVERY ELEMENT IN LIST --- cfset x = 1 cfset out = cfloop index=i from=#x# to=#listLength# step=1 cfset out = out 'CFSET varMergeFile#i# = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_#i#.pdf' /cfloop cfoutput#out#/cfoutput Of course you won't see the output because it won't render ... but you can write the contents of the out variable to a file or put it in a DB or whatever. ALTERNATIVELY, if what you're actually tring to do is set the variables, do this: !--- GET LIST LENGTH --- cfset printIt = 1212,1549,2003 cfset listLength = ListLen(#printIt#) !--- DISPLAY EVERY ELEMENT IN LIST --- cfset x = 1 cfset out = cfloop index=i from=#x# to=#listLength# step=1 CFSET variables[varMergeFile#i#] = c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_#i#.pdf !--- or, god forbit --- cfset setVariable(varMergeFile#i#, c:\inetpub\uploads\pdf\resume_#i#.pdf) /cfloop -- Rick Root CFFM - Open Source Coldfusion File Manager http://www.opensourcecf.com/cffm ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
