I would just go back to bed. :) Just kidding... I'm not quite sure why you don't just set that string in a variable and simply output the variable as opposed to including an entire file just for three words.
The proper syntax for what you had would be: <cfset page_location = "<cfinclude template=""department_name.cfm"">"> But I really doubt that is what you want, because you can't execute a variable which contains a string just which just so happens to represent CFML. <cfset page_location = "my_path/department_name.cfm"> Maybe you want <cfinclude template="#page_location#"> Anyway, it is hard to tell where you are going with this. Get a cup of coffee or something and then look at it again. :) ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Kessler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 9:43 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: including into a cfset okay, I'm sure this is cause I'm just not thinking right this morning, but I've stared and stared and just don't see the answer. I have a bit of text that I want to represent in alot of places ("epidemiology and biostatistics") and wish to do: <cfinclude template='department_name.cfm'> which is just "epidemiology and biostatistics" I also have a variable this is used in alot of places that I also need to set to this text: <cfset page_location = "epidemiology and biostatistics"> It would be nice if I could set page_location to the cfinclude, but not only does it not work, it looks silly: <cfset page_location = <cfinclude template='department_name.cfm'>> How would I do this ? page_location is used in other modules not owned by this, so I need to keep that variable and just set it to the included information. thanks. -- Daniel Kessler College of Health and Human Performance University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://hhp.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252039 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
