[cfaussie] Re: CF version of VB's "WITH" ?

Hi Barry   I programmed in Dataflex for a couple of years, many moons ago, and love Cold Fusion for exactly the same reason: it is an interpreted language. Basically, this means you can do anything you damn well please with it. Anything. I whipped this up after you posed the question, tested it and it works. You can play with it to your heart's content to make it more robust - I only put one check in (to make sure it's an assignment statement).   File: with.cfm ========== <CFIF thisTag.ExecutionMode EQ "End">     <CFLOOP Index="Line" List="#thisTag.GeneratedContent#" Delimiters="#Chr(13)#">         <CFSET Line=Trim(Line)>         <CFIF Find("=", Line) GT 0>             <CFSET junk = Evaluate("Caller.#Attributes.Var##Line#")>         </CFIF>     </CFLOOP>     <CFSET thisTag.GeneratedContent = ""> </CFIF> Example usage: ============ <CFSET test = StructNew()> <CF_With Var="test">     .ele1 = "hello"     .ele2 = "there"     .ele3 = "thexthy" </CF_With>                   Possible enhancement ideas: 1. change delimiters to #Chr(13)# & ";" and then you could have .ele1 = "hello";.ele2="there"; etc etc 2. make the tag recursive or handle nested calls and you could nest <CF_with ...> constructs HTH Aaron     ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry Beattie   does CF (maybe within CFSCRIPT)  have something like VB�s WITH keyword when working with object methods and properties?   eg:   WITH myObject             .val1 = var1             .val2 = var2             .addnew() END WITH     --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
