Well I would want to ask and argue not to do this...but I'll bite my tongue.
Why not create a superstructure to hold this. Then you could do something like: <cfset superstruct=structnew()> <cfset structVarName = "myStruct" /> <cfset superstruct[structVarName] = StructNew()/> <cfset keyVariable = "steven.ross" /> <cfset theValue = "a name" /> <cfset superstruct[structVarName][keyVariable] = theValue /> I have not tested this, but it should be close to right. Come to think of it, you might even see if you could use "variables" instead of the superstruct. I think that might work. ------------------------------------ Gerry Gurevich Application Development NIEHS ITSS Contractor Lockheed Martin Information Technology 919-361-5444 ext 311 -----Original Message----- From: Steven Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 4:21 PM To: ACFUG ColdFusion Discussion Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] dynamic structs/variable ok so for whatever reason (I'd rather not hear arguments why not to do this) I want to try to do this: <cfset structVarName = "myStruct" /> <cfset "#structVarName#" = StructNew()/> <cfset keyVariable = "steven.ross" /> <cfset theValue = "a name" /> <cfset structVarName[keyVariable] = theValue /> the last part is the part I can't get to work... tired all sorts of flavors of evaluate, and I would have included a few examples of what I have tried but, figured that would confuse the issue.
