Conditional code to see if dynamic variable exists - #Evaluate("LeftOver" & query.line)#

[Newsgroup_User]

I've created a dynamic variable without any problems. I now only want to
display the variable if the variable exists or is defined. I've tried a few
variations of the code below

I cant seem to get the syntax correct. Can someone help me out?


<cfif isdefined (Evaluate("LeftOver" & query.line))>

<cfoutput>#Evaluate("LeftOver" & query.line)#</cfoutput>

<cfelse>
0</cfif>

Sorted. Got rid of the evaluate function and presto.

<cfif isdefined ("LeftOver#query.line#")>
<cfoutput>#Evaluate("LeftOver" & query.line)#</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
0</cfif>

Avoid evaluate() if at all possible (which it usually is):

<cfoutput>#variables["LeftOver" & query.line]#</cfoutput>
