It doesn't harm anything at all. I guess you could say you don't need structClear(), but it's a matter of personal preference. If my intent was to clear the struct, I'd use it just because it makes more sense to me when I read the code. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : cfjedimaster "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 12:07 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: does StructNew() destroy old structure completely? > > > so, like his question, does that muck > things up at all? memory wise? just wondering. > > also, does it spell out the lack of need for structClear() > > ..tony > > Tony Weeg > Senior Web Developer > Information System Design > Navtrak, Inc. > Fleet Management Solutions > www.navtrak.net > 410.548.2337 > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:36 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: does StructNew() destroy old structure completely? > > > structNew will kill the old data. > > ============================================================== > ========= > Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire > > Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Yahoo IM : cfjedimaster > > "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Gyrus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 9:50 AM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: does StructNew() destroy old structure completely? > > > > > > I've got a structure in the Application scope that I use to > > store different > > types of information, depending on circumstances. > > > > When the structure's contents need replacing, I just initiate > > the process > > with > > > > <cfset myStruct = StructNew()> > > > > My question is: if 'myStruct' already contains a set of > > key-value pairs, > > will StructNew() clear it completely, allowing for totally > > new key-value > > pairs?
