Unable to out value of variable using Evaluate...

Hi,

Try this:

<cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
<cfset count = 0>
<cfloop index="Add" from="1" to="1" step="1">
    <cfset count = count + 1>
<cfset ThisNumber = "">
<cfif StructKeyExists(Form, "Inj_" & Count)>
      <cfset ThisNumber = Form["Inj_" & Count]>
</cfif>
<cfset ThisTick = "">
<cfif StructKeyExists(Form, "Tick_" & Count)>
      <cfset ThisTick = Form["Tick_" & Count]>
</cfif>
<cfset ThisQuality = "">
<cfif StructKeyExists(Form, "Quality_" & Count)>
      <cfset ThisQuality = Form["Quality_" & Count]>
</cfif>
<cfset ThisDescription = "">
<cfif StructKeyExists(Form, "Description_" & Count)>
      <cfset ThisDescription = Form["Description_" & Count]>
</cfif>
<cfoutput>
<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center">#count#</td>
<td align="center">#ThisTick#</td>
<td align="center">#ThisQuality#</td>
<td align="center">#ThisDescription#</td>
</tr>
</table>
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>

The error indicated that the tick_1 form variable wasn't there, so I'm guessing it was a checkbox. You just have to expect that and code around it by either checking for it's existence first (like I did above), or using CFParam to ensure it exists.

Swift

Here are some of the things that I do...

• You definitely need to use IsDefined() to see if a variable actually exists.  Do not assume that it does.  (Notice that the argument to this function is a character-string containing a variable's name.)

• I am a big fan of using StructKeyExists() and of working with things (including FORM) as the structures they inherently are.  You can use both "dot-notation" and "square-bracket array/hash notation" when dealing with structures.  I'll assign a variable or structure-element name to a character string (so that I'm not repeating repeating myself myself), then see if the element exists, then use the square-bracket notation style to retrieve the structure-element named by that variable.  (Documentation reference:   "ColdFusion 8 Developer's Guide" http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/, "Using Arrays and Structures," "About Structures," "Structure Notation.")
  

• To that end, I make constant use of the QueryToStruct CFC-function,  which I found here:  http://www.bennadel.com/blog/149-Ask-Ben-Converting-A-Query-To-A-Struct.htm

• Sometimes, it is actually quite handy to just do something knowing that an exception might "occasionally" occur, and to trap that exception using the <cftry>/<cfcatch> construct.  If the exception that might happen is, ahem, "the exception, rather than the rule," then you can sometimes do well to "just plunge right in, having first prudently placed a nice trampoline underneath you."  You just need to be sure that, if an exception does happen, you haven't just drooled some half-finished HTML out to the user's screen.
  

You don't tell us what the code generates, and why you think it's erroneous.

Time to do a lot of <cfdump>ing...  You should never assume that you know what value a particular variable contains at any particular point.  You must L{=)(=)K AND SEE.
