Question

Need help with some Coldfusion data structures

Hello,

I need to keep some sort of a list that contains a page, and then that page will have associated with it values.  So,

if I have page 1, I may have values 240, 245, 300.  Then, on to page 2, and I will have say, 344, 29, etc.

So, what I will have is something that "could maybe" be a 2 dimensional array where one of the elements is a list?

Or, do I set up a struct say, page.number and page.value list, and put that struct in an array?

Plus, the fun part is I have to save this bad boy in session.  I've been looking around the web for some examples, no

luck.  So, to reiterate:

I have a page number that has to be associated with a list.  That entire structure needs to be in an array or list of

some sort, and stored in session.

Thanks in advance!

    I'd base my decision as to how to store this data on what I planned to do with it.

    Really Google did not show anything like:

    <cfset session.pageAry = [
         {page="pageOne", numList="240,245,300"},
         {page="pageTwo", numList="344,29"}]>
    <cfdump var="#session.pageAry#">

    OR

    <cfset session.pageAry = arrayNew(1)>
    <cfset arrayAppend(session.pageAry, strutNew())>
    <cfset session.pageAry[1].page = "pageOne">
    <cfset session.pageAry[1].numList = "240,245,300">
    <cfset arrayAppend(session.pageAry, strutNew())>
    <cfset session.pageAry[2].page = "pageTwo">
    <cfset session.pageAry[2].numList = "344,29">

    OR

    The <cfscript> version of these examples.

    I didn't find it, but you solved my problem.  I apologize for the short waste of time.

    Again, thanks a lot!!!
