What's the problem with my array code attached, figure they have been around
for so many years I should probably learn how to use them.

<cfset my2darray=arraynew(2)>
<cfset my2darrry[1][1] = "Catalog Title">
<cfset my2darrry[1][2] = "Catalog Image">
<cfset my2darrry[1][3] = "Catalog Text">
<cfset my2darrry[1][4] = "Catalog Link">
<cfset my2darrry[2][1] = "Video Title">
<cfset my2darrry[2][2] = "Video Image">
<cfset my2darrry[2][3] = "Catalog Text">
<cfset my2darrry[2][4] = "Catalog Link">

<p>The values in my2darray are currently:</p>

<cfoutput>
#my2darray[1][1]#<br>
#my2darray[1][2]#<br>
#my2darray[1][3]#<br>
#my2darray[1][4]#<br>
#my2darray[2][1]#<br>
#my2darray[2][2]#<br>
#my2darray[2][3]#<br>
#my2darray[2][4]#<br>
</cfoutput>

You might want to look closer at your code.

Also, when you have a problem, it's helpful if you tell us what the problem
actually is, not simply say "I have a problem, what is it?".

Thirdly: an array is really not the best data structure for you to be using
here. It looks more like it should be a struct, or perhaps an array of
structures to me.

Please advise what is the problem with my code?

Really!!! because even with Adam point out the spot I could not see the
problem the first four times I looked at it. Since I did not really
know for what I was looking. Knowing the error would have guided me
much faster to this issue.

A valid point, but that sure looks like a foobar|hello world example to
practice a new skill and as such is fine. But I agree, if I where
looking at a requirement like this I would probably be looking at using
a structure, aka a hash array. I.E. using strings as index keys rather
then integers.

What is the error you are getting.

I think the problem is that you're not actually looking at it, as much as
anything else.

*look at it*.

No I was asking you told me to look at my code closely and I was wondering what problem you saw with it as I am unfamilar with arrays and was asking for help.

For goodness sake, mate.

What's the name of the variable in this line of code:
<cfset my2darray=arraynew(2)>

And what's the name of the variable in THIS line of code:
<cfset my2darrry[1][1] = "Catalog Title">

Are they the same? No.
Do you think perhaps that might be your problem?

ok so you couldn't just point out the mispelling?

Now I am getting:

The element at position 1, of dimension 2, of an array object used as part of an expression, cannot be found.

NM I got it.
