Converting a String to number - Macromedia ColdFusion

[Kaitlyn_k]

I'm trying to concatinate a varible to make it dynamic.
I'm calling a processing page and from a page where they are entering numbers
into a text field for how many pictures they want. The form field has the name
of txt_wallets_#Pictures_name#
Whenever I try to get the vaule it craps out!
It is because of the nest varibles.

I need help, idea, and anything at this point it is driving me crazy.

How are you passing the #Pictures_Name# to the action page?

Something like this should work. You might post your code for a more exact
answer...

<cfscript>
if (IsDefined ("FORM.txt_wallets_#Pictures_name#"))
{
//--- Get the number of pictures.
iNumPics = Val (Evaluate
("FORM.txt_wallets_#Pictures_name#"));
}
</cfscript>
