Hi All,
I was just trying to figure this out and I get an error and I don't know
the work around can anyone show me how I can do this the correct way?
<cfset the_VarName = "test">
<cfset startingPosition = 1>
<cfset "application.#the_VarName#" = arrayNew(2)>
<cfset the_VarNameWPos = the_VarName & "[" & startingPosition & "][1]">
<cfset "application.#the_VarNameWPos#" = structNew()>
I'm guessing that "[]" is causing the problem. The error I get is:
The string "application.test[1][1]" is not a valid ColdFusion variable
name.
Valid variable names must start with a letter, and can only contain
letter, numbers, and underscores.
The error occurred in E:\wwwroot\codeTests\cfc\descriptiveArray.cfm:
line 9
7 : <cfset "application.#the_VarName#" = arrayNew(2)>
8 : <cfset the_VarNameWPos = the_VarName & "[" & startingPosition &
"][1]">
9 : <cfset "application.#the_VarNameWPos#" = structNew()>
10 : <!--- <cfset application.the_VarName[1][1].name = "Ron">
11 : <cfset application.the_VarName[1][2] = structNew()>
Thanks in advance,
Ron Mast
