Passing values returned by one cffunction to another.

[countdrak]

Ok I am trying to pass a string returned by another cffunction to a cffunction, and I keep getting an error-

You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members.

Here is my code -

<cfinvoke component="components.menu" method="GetTree" returnvariable="XString">
</cfinvoke>

I am trying to pass XString to another function. Which is a simple string. All this code is in the same component file.This is my ohter function call

<cfinvoke component="components.dmenu" method="WritetoFile">
<cfinvokeargument name="XToWrite"  [red]value="XString"[/red]>
</cfinvoke>

How do I pass one value returned by one function to another function?

What sort is xString?

If its an array or a query or the like, that would explain the error.

Its just a string.

I read it completely backwards..

have you tried...

value="#xString#"

And for stupid question #2.. Are you sure this is the line the error is occurring on? I'm sure you checked that, but its one of those things... An error could apply to the line you think the problem is in, but it is really for a whole different line..

Ok value="#xString#" worked. Thanks a lot. One another problem, I hadn't referenced it as #Arguments.XToWrite# in my WritetoFile function. Thanks.
