No worries ;) Another useful feature of using array notation is that
you can have key names that are not valid variable names, ie. numbers.
Indeed, some clever clogs used this in a solution for getting x number
of random numbers that are all unique. It's posted in the archives
somewhere but it went something like this (paraphrased for example):
<cfscript>
function getRandomNumbers(n, rangeLower, rangeUpper){
var stRand = StructNew();
while(StructCount(stRand) LT arguments.n){
stRand[ RandRange( arguments.rangeLower, arguments.rangeUpper) ] = "";
}
return StructKeyArray(stRandomNumbers);
}
</cfscript>
