concatenate 1

[cumap]

hello all,

this probably is one of the lamest question but I really stuck trying to display colors I assigned

bgcolor1 = "#0066CC"
bgcolor2 = "#009933"
bgcolor3 = "#FF0066"
bgcolor4 = "#FFCC00"

I tried to display the color by doing this

txtbg = "bgcolor"
rcount = 1
response.write "<font color='"&txtbg&rcount&"'>TESTING</font>"

but no luck... What is the deal here?

Thanks!

It doesn't work that way. You cannot concatenate to make a variable name. I recommend you use an array.

Redim bgcolor(3)

bgcolor(0) = "#0066CC"
bgcolor(1) = "#009933"
bgcolor(2) = "#FF0066"
bgcolor(3) = "#FFCC00"

response.write "<font color='" & bgcolor(rcount)  &"'>TESTING</font>"

thank you for the better way to solve my problem. I actually used Select Case to get the color by doing this

select case rcount
case 1
txtbg = bgcolor1
case 2
txtbg = bgcolor2
case 3
txtbg = bgcolor3
case 4
txtbg = bgcolor4
end select

It works, but yours is much simplier. Good work!
