[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. Any help would be appreciated. -Steven -- Steven Ross web application interface developer http://www.zerium.com [mobile] 404-488-4364 [fax] 267-482-4364 - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -
RE: [ACFUG Discuss] dynamic structs/variable
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.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] dynamic structs/variable
thanks! this worked: cfset variables.structVarName = myStruct / cfset #structVarName# = StructNew()/ cfset keyVariable = steven.ross / cfset theValue = a name / cfdump var=#Evaluate(structVarName)# cfset variables[structVarName][keyVariable] = theValue / cfdump var=#Evaluate(structVarName)# On 3/5/07, Gurevich, Gerry (NIH/NIEHS) [C] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well I would want to ask and argue not to do this...but I'll bite my tongue.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] dynamic structs/variable
You can also use the SetVariable function if you wanted to avoid the syntax magic of cfset #var# = some value. Jeremy On 3/5/07, Steven Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok I'll let you in on it... heh. Ok so I have a configuration xml file and I want to be able to dynamically create structs and stick them in the applications configuration variable by just editing the xml file. I can't go into it in detail at the moment but, I'll follow up with a blog post about why and how I'm using this. -Steven On 3/5/07, Gurevich, Gerry (NIH/NIEHS) [C] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well I would want to ask and argue not to do this...but I'll bite my tongue.
