Doug,
There are a couple of ways to handle this. If all you're doing is setting a
variable, then you can do any of the following:
<!--// the syntactically correct way //-->
<CFSET tmpVar = SetVariable(name, value)>
<!--// a more efficient method of the above example //-->
<CFSET SetVariable(name, value)>
<!--// undocument, but works now, but could be unsupported in the future
//-->
<CFSET "#name#" = value>
If you actually need to execute code, then you'll need to save the code to a
temp file, include that code, then delete the included file.

Subject: Executing a String?
How can I assemble an CFML command inside a string and execute it?
For example, If I had the following CFML code, what would be the next line
to actually cause the variable "somevalue" to be created and assigned a
value of 3?
<cfset myString = "<CFSET somevalue=3>">
I have a table with two columns called "variableName" and "variableValue".
I'd like to loop through the set and make sure all the variables get their
assigned values.
I could have sworn I made this happen before, but I just can't seem to
remember how. I've tried the #evaluate()# function, but you can't do
something like <CFSET #evaluate("variableName")# =
#evaluate("variableValue")#> because the left side of an equation can't be a
function, according to the CF rules.
Any ideas???
