Use array notation test["variables.self"] = 123
Ade -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Chastain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 March 2005 22:53 To: CF-Talk Subject: Easiest way to have a period in a struct key? I am needing to create a structure where the key name has a period in it and is not evaluated as a nested structure. For example ... test.variables.self = 123 ..... should actually be a structure called 'test' with the key name equal to 'variables.self' and the value equal to 123. I have been able to do this with a very ugly combination of a DE function and a set of string functions, but I was hoping for a cleaner method. Anybody?
