naming a variable from another...
Hello I need to name a variable using the value of another variable in the name... Eg I have a variable called id and I want to do this cfset newvariable_#id# = value But it won't let me :) How do you do this?

RE: naming a variable from another...
In MX, you can do cfset variables[foo] = value Where foo is ID, this will make variables.id equal to value. Before MX, you can use evaluate cfset foo = id cfset evaluate(#foo#=1) cfoutput#id#/cfoutput Although this is icky. ;) If I needed to set a bunch of dynamically named vars prior to MX, I'd just make a struct: cfset mycrap = structNew() cfset mycrap[foo] = value === Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc (www.mindseye.com) Member of Team Macromedia (http://www.macromedia.com/go/teammacromedia) Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. - Yoda -Original Message- From: Ryan Mitchell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 5:51 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: naming a variable from another...

cfset setvariable(newvariableid,value) which reads better in cfscript or cfset variables[newvariableid] = value umm... I'm sure there are other ways too, just don't use evaluate() ;o) Stephen - Original Message - From: Ryan Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 12:50 PM Subject: naming a variable from another...

Take a look at the setVariable() function.

RE: naming a variable from another...
You wouldn't even need the evaluate for this.
cfset setVariable('newvariable' id,value)

Hi Ryan, You have lots of options: cfset newvariable_#id# = value or cfset SetVariable( newvariable_#id#, value ) ...and I am sure there are plenty more options out there. Of the two choices above, the first one is the best-performing. Good day Mike Mertsock Alfred University Web Team Hello I need to name a variable using the value of another variable in the name...
