Thanks people, that worked a treat.
The variable itself was a session variable so what I ended up with was
<cfoutput>
#evaluate("session." & session.application_view_list[i].name &
"_red")#
</cfoutput>
I decided to just drop the intermediate countvar step...

#Evaluate(session.application_view_list[i].name & "_red")# would ouptut the
value.
So would #evaluate(countvar)#

Subject: Dynamic variable construction and it's use
Hi there,
If construct a variable name dynamically like;
<cfset countvar="#session.application_view_list[i].name#_red">
How do I then output the contents of the newly constructed variable?
If the code above evaluated to a variable name e.g. "oracledb_red", how
would I do the equivalent of
<cfoutput>
#oracledb_red#
</cfoutput>
Doing
<cfoutput>
#countvar#
</cfoutput>
will obviously just output the new variable name but not it's contents.
I've tried various permutations of #'s and quotes but can't seem to get it
right.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Kevin
