"you can not do a <cfset my-name='Joe'>" -----Original Message----- From: Bryan F. Hogan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 12:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Hyphen in a variable name?
No but you can create your own variable scope structure such as <cfset myVariables=StructNew()> <cfset myVariables['my-name']='Joe'> <cfoutput>#myVariables['my-name']#</cfoutput> and it works exactly the same way. But you have to set the value into the structure you can do a <cfset my-name='Joe'> -----Original Message----- From: James Blaha [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 12:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Hyphen in a variable name?
