Katrina,
Yeah, I should have actually read that message before responding! :-)
I totally missed that he was looking for the *value* of the variable. I'm
glad the right answer quickly followed, and in abundance!
Thanks.

Actually if you look at the set statement he does need the #'s. He wouldn't
need them if it was contstructed like this.
<cfset countvar= session.application_view_list[i].name & "_red">
The way that he has it written, with the var inside of "'s he does need the
#'s.
As far as getting the value of the var within a var he needs to use
evaluate().
#Evaluate(countvar)#
--K

You don't use the # signs within the cfset tag. Aside from that though, yes,
you do just say <cfoutput>#countvar#</cfoutput> . In your set statement you
assigned the return value of the code on the right to the variable on the
left.

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
