cfml -- cfevaluate problem

[TechBoyJK]

INDEX is a previously defined variable, part of a loop, and gets incremented each pass.


I'm getting 'criteria_string_2' does not exist. (assuming index=2)

<CFSET evaluate("criteria_string_#index# = "#form.search_box#"")>


However, Something like this works fine for me.

<CFSET evaluate("form.caption_#INDEX# = ''")>


What am I doing wrong here? Do I need to cfparam the criteria_string_#index# variable first?

I don't know the exact semantics of what you're doing but two quotes often causes problems as it sometimes is treated by the preprocssor as literal " in text.

Have you tried using the escape sequence for quote. If that's what you want?

<CFSET evaluate("criteria_string_#index# = \"#form.search_box#\"")>
