Question

I’m attempting to dump a bunch of get functions into a spreadsheet using cfspreadsheet – instead of passing each individual function, I’ve decided to create a list and loop through it. I think I am using Evaluate() incorrectly here, but I’m not sure what the best way to accomplish this is. Any suggestions/optimizations would be appreciated, as my Cold-Fu isn’t that great.

Error thrown is Variable GETFIELDS is undefined.

<cfset var fields = "Function1,Function2" />
<cfspreadsheet action="read" src="#strDestinationPath#information.xls" name="xlsInfo" headerrow="1" />
<cfset var row = xlsData.rowcount + 1 />
<cfset var count = 1 />
<cfloop list="fields" index="f" delimiters=",">
   <cfscript>
    SpreadsheetSetCellValue(xlsInfo,Evaluate('get' & f & '()'),row,count);
    count++;
   </cfscript>  
</cfloop>   
<cfspreadsheet action="write" overwrite="true" filename="#strDestinationPath#information.xls" name="xlsInformation" />

Answer 1

cfloop expects a list of items as an argument.

Try changing from

<cfloop list="fields" index="f" delimiters=",">

to

<cfloop list="#fields#" index="f" delimiters=",">

or to

<cfloop list="Function1,Function2" index="f" delimiters=",">
