Synopsis
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>
