Building on your argumentCollection suggestion, I think I've got it
figured out. I could just pass the whole arguments collection via
argumentCollection. Here's an example:
<!--- Public method --->
<cffunction name="formatName" access="public" returntype="string">
<cfargument name="lastName" type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="middleInit" type="string" required="no">
<cfargument name="firstName" type="string" required="no">
<cfset var formattedName = "">
<cfscript>
formattedName = "<b>"
// ######## This wraps up what I'm talking about ########
& concatName(argumentCollection=arguments)
& "</b>";
</cfscript>
<cfreturn formattedName>
</cffunction>
<!--- Helper method --->
<cffunction name="concatName" access="private" returntype="string">
<cfargument name="lastName" type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="middleInit" type="string" required="no">
<cfargument name="firstName" type="string" required="no">
<cfset var fullName = "">
<cfscript>
if (isdefined("arguments.firstName"))
var = arguments.firstName;
if (isdefined("arguments.middleInit"))
var = var & " " & arguments.middleInit & ".";
var = var & " " & arguments.lastName;
</cfscript>
</cffunction>
Thanks,
