double?? dynamic variable name....

[sliver]

ok I am completely stumped in the middle of an loop fed by a query I have a set variable I am doing another query inthe loop to get numbers of record with certian variables (happens like 60 times on the page and I dont want to make a new query everytime we add one) so here is what I am trying to set.

<cfset #new#numb="#dude.recordcount#">

the variable #new# will be a name and I want the new variable to be #namenumb# so I can call it later inthe page for a rowspan in a table... I hope this is well enough explained I have been beating my brain against it for a coupple of hours and am not thinking straight anymore...

I'm a bit confused on if you want something like "joenumb" or "joe1" so I included solutions for both.

if you want joenumb:
evaluate(new&"numb")

if you want joe1:
evaluate(new&numb)

Let's see.. Here's how I'd do this..

// Create an empty "list"
// set variable
<cfset "#new#numb"=dude.recordcount">
// Append to the list
<cfset nnlist=listappend(nnlist,"#new#numb")>

And then when I'm reading the variable..

I'm not sure how you're cycling through the output, If you're calling it by name (or name in a variable) you don't need nnlist..

#evaluate(name_var_here & "numb")#

If you're cycling through by number like... the first row would get the first numb you set, the second row would get the second, then you can use..

#evaluate(listgetat(nnlist,cyclelistpos))#

For instance if this is a cfoutput, you could use currentrow for cyclelistpos.. that is if each output uses a different variable..

#evaluate(listgetat(nnlist,currentrow))#
