How do I display a variable in a variable?

[moyerc]

I have a email page that allows you to choose from 5 content sections from a
database fields. The data in the database is actual HTML Code put in by a
online WYSIWYG form. So it html.. When the email gets sent it grabs the HTML
from the database field as a varibale called : See example below

<tr>
<td>#htmlbody1# </td>
<td>#htmlbody2# </td>
</tr>

and renders correctly. MY QUESTION IS inside the #htmlbody1# there is HTML
code and I want to append a coldfusion varibale to a hyperlink in the the HTML
that is really #HTMLBODY1#

However when processed the #htmlbody1# is processed butnot the varibale nested
inside the data that #htmlbody1# contains.

I hope this makes sense.

#HTMLBODY1# contains the following code for instance when processed :
<tr><td>Hello world <a href="http://www.mysite.com?email=#e_email#"></td></r>

The e_email doesnt process becuase its embedded inside the #HTMLBODY1#

any help would be great.

This is just a SWAG, but perhaps you need to use CFOUTPUT tags, or possibly EVALUATE().

Evaluate() can be tricky and slow.

This approach should work and might be easier to understand. You also might
want to do the string processing before the CFMail tag.

Use:
<td>#ReplaceNoCase (htmlbody1, "##e_email##", e_email, "ALL")# </td>
OR
<CFSET sNewBody = ReplaceNoCase (htmlbody1, "##e_email##", e_email, "ALL")>

The "ALL" is optional if the variable only occurs one time. In that case
omitting it would save a few microseconds.
