<!--- Create a girls array with two entries. ---> <cfset girls = [ { name = "Tricia", hair = "Brown" }, { name = "Joanna", hair = "Dark Brown" } ] /> <!--- Set girls array to be a new array containing the first element of the previous girls array assignment. In ColdFusion 8 this would throw an erro because the left side of stetement would be incorrectly evaludated first, rendering the right side no longer useful. ---> <cfset girls = [ girls[ 1 ] ] /> <!--- Output the new array. ---> <cfdump var="#girls#" label="Girls (Reassigned)" />
