Hi,<br />
<br />
how do i specify the literal &quot;&nbsp;(quotation marks) in coldfusion within a variable?<br />
<br />
Essentially i want to assign the value: &lt;cfset id=&quot;-1&quot;&gt; to a variable<br />
<br />
i.e:<br />
<br />
&lt;cfset prefix = &quot;&lt;cfset id = &quot;-1&quot; &gt;&quot;&gt;<br />
<br />
Obviously the above is illegal, so how do i do this legally? It may seem bizarre what i'm doing but i'm essentially storing coldfusion code in a variable to then write it to file.<br />
<br />
Many thanks =)

Hi,

how do i specify the literal " (quotation marks) in coldfusion within a variable?

Essentially i want to assign the value: <cfset id="-1"> to a variable

i.e:

<cfset prefix = "<cfset id = "-1" >">

Obviously the above is illegal, so how do i do this legally? It may seem bizarre what i'm doing but i'm essentially storing coldfusion code in a variable to then write it to file.

Many thanks =)

Specifying quotation as literal in Coldfusion

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
