nesting output

[choirellie]

I have a form with dynamically created fields -- something like:
name=status-#mem_id#

When I submit this form data to the template that processes it, I want to be
able to loop through the same query that created the form fields and refer to
the form field -- something like #FORM.status#QUERY.mem_id##. That of course
doesn't work. But I also tried
<CFOUTPUT>#FORM.status<CFOUTPUT>#query.mem_id#</CFOUTPUT>#</CFOUTPUT> and that
didn't work either.

I realize I could do something trickier using an array or two but was hoping
there would be a simpler way to just pop the value into the FORM variable.

Any ideas?

Have you tried useing the CF Function Evaluate. I think it would be writen
something like this... <cfset var=Evaluate('FORM.status.#QUERY.mem_id#]')> or
#Evaluate(FORM.status(QUERY.mem_id))# I think thats pretty close I may have
missed a dot or two... I'm alittle syntaxcally-tarded but check out

Aha! Yes, using the eval function with a CFSET tag did the trick! Thanks! Your syntax was fine except for the square bracket which I think isn't needed.
