odd Form variables returned

[voluminance]

I am receiving FORM variables off of a post from a pdf doc. its sending vars like this...

FORM.F[0].P1[0].Field1[0]

With all those extra periods in there its creeping CF out and returning an error "Element F is undefined in a java object class..." when i go to loop through the FORM.FIELDNAMES.

is there a fancy function or something I can use to grab those variables? my evaluate isnt working:

<cfloop index="ii" list="#FORM.FIELDNAMES#" delimiters=",">
<cfoutput>#ToString(Evaluate('FORM.' & ii))#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>

TIA yawl

You might try this.

thanks jdeline,

I still get the same 2 exceptions:

Element F is undefined in a Java object of type Class [Ljava.lang.String;

-and-

Object Instatiation Exception

What happens when you do a <CFDUMP VAR=#FORM#> at the beginning of the page?

it displays my FORM variables with their values. I have the following variables:

FIELDNAMES=F[0].P1[0].A10[0],F[0].P1[0].A11[0],F[0].P1[0].A12[0],F[0].P1[0].A1[0],F[0].P1[0].A2[0],F[0].P1[0].A3[0],F[0].P1[0].A44[0],F[0].P1[0].A46[0],F[0].P1[0].A4[0],F[0].P1[0].A5[0],F[0].P1[0].A6[0],F[0].P1[0].A7[0],F[0].P1[0].HTTPSUBMITBUTTON1[0]
F[0].P1[0].A10[0]=10
F[0].P1[0].A1[0]=1
F[0].P1[0].A2[0]=0
F[0].P1[0].A44[0]=0
F[0].P1[0].A46[0]=0
F[0].P1[0].A4[0]=0
F[0].P1[0].A5[0]=65

Tim can you explain why that worked? Thanks thats great!

[Newsgroup_User]

you're accessing the form structure (e.g. form['fieldname']) rather than
the name of the form field, which CF can't get through because of the
multiple dots and brackets.
Plus, you get rid of Evaluate()...which can be a performance hit.

What a mess. ColdFusion probably is confused by the [ ], thinking it's dealing with an array element. Let me think about it.
