RE: append variable to a variable??

I believe there is a function in CF called SetVariable that will allow you to create custom vars. -Original Message- From: Paul Mone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 11:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: append variable to a variable?? You can use evaluate

RE: append variable to a variable??

Aidan, I wonder why you tried the ugly version first. Forget the ampersands, forget SetVariable. Maybe forget the vairables scoping as well. Just do this: CFSET "variables.abc#Evaluate(somevalue + 1)#" = "whatever" Now doesn't that look much MUCH nicer than this: CFSET variables.Result =

RE: append variable to a variable??

Using SetVariable is better cfset setvariable("Edname" numvar, "test") I disagree. Why is it "better"? SetVariable is just another redundant function to learn, another syntax to look up. I believe there actually IS some circumstance where you MUST use it, but I just can't recall

I disagree. Why is it "better"? SetVariable is just another redundant function to learn, another syntax to look up. I believe there actually IS some circumstance where you MUST use it, but I just can't recall when. CFSET "edname#numvar#" = "test" does exactly what you would expect and hope.

RE: append variable to a variable??

Yes, I believe that IncrementValue IS faster, but I'm not going to use it except where I need to squeeze the last millisecond from a heavily-used piece of code. Comprehensibility + readabaility = maintainability + reliabaility, or something like that. Lee (Bjork) Borkman http://bjork.net

append variable to a variable??

Is there anyway to do this? I have six variables in my database they are called: EdName1, EdName2, etc. It would be awesome if I could set a variable that could dynamically change the number of each variable for me so I don't have to hard code the variable. For example (I know this doesn't
