DE
DE(string)
DE( ) (for delay evaluation) is used with the
Evaluate( ) and IIF( )
functions to allow you to pass a string without having it evaluated.
DE( ) returns string
enclosed within double quotation marks. The following example shows
the DE( ) function used in conjunction with the
Evaluate( ) function:
<cfset MyVar = "3 * 3"> <cfoutput> MyVar = #MyVar# <p> DE(MyVar): #DE(MyVar)#<br> Evaluate(MyVar): #Evaluate(MyVar)#<br> Evaluate(DE(MyVar)): #Evaluate(DE(MyVar))# <p> All together:<br> #Evaluate(DE(MyVar))# is #Evaluate(MyVar)# </cfoutput>
