Simple Dynamic Evaluation Question

[LionelR1]

Can someone show me how to reproduce this with a CFLOOP? I can't seem to get past the dynamic variable naming. Thanks!

Just think through what you need to do in general terms first. It seems as if you need take three variables:

colorID1, colorID2, colorID3

.. and split each one into two parts:

colorID1_1, colorID1_2
colorID2_1, colorID2_2
colorID3_1, colorID3_2

So roughly speaking you want to

1. Loop three times
2. Within each loop, split the current variable into two parts

The rest is just becomes a matter of constructing the dynamic variable names using array notation.

<cfloop from="1" to="3" index="suffix">
<cfset variables["colorid"& suffix &"_1"] = ListGetAt(variables["colorid"& suffix],1)>
<cfset variables["colorid"& suffix &"_2"] = ListGetAt(variables["colorid"& suffix], 2)>
</cfloop>
