thanks! this worked:
<cfset variables.structVarName = "myStruct" />
<cfset "#structVarName#" = StructNew()/>
<cfset keyVariable = "steven.ross" />
<cfset theValue = "a name" />
<cfdump var="#Evaluate(structVarName)#">
<cfset variables[structVarName][keyVariable] = theValue />
<cfdump var="#Evaluate(structVarName)#">

Why not create a superstructure to hold this. Then you could do
something like:
<cfset superstruct=structnew()>
<cfset structVarName = "myStruct" />
<cfset superstruct[structVarName] = StructNew()/>
<cfset keyVariable = "steven.ross" />
<cfset theValue = "a name" />
<cfset superstruct[structVarName][keyVariable] = theValue />
I have not tested this, but it should be close to right.
Come to think of it, you might even see if you could use "variables"
instead of the superstruct. I think that might work.

Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] dynamic structs/variable
ok so for whatever reason (I'd rather not hear arguments why not to do
this) I want to try to do this:
<cfset structVarName = "myStruct" />
<cfset "#structVarName#" = StructNew()/>
<cfset keyVariable = "steven.ross" />
<cfset theValue = "a name" />
<cfset structVarName[keyVariable] = theValue />
the last part is the part I can't get to work... tired all sorts of
flavors of evaluate, and I would have included a few examples of what
I have tried but, figured that would confuse the issue. Any help would
be appreciated.
