How to call a variable with a loop count in it

Question

First - I have a variable called "stages" this is a number
that can vary. Because it can vary I want to run things in a loop
based on the number that comes up as the stages variable amount.
Second is a loop
<cfloop index="riderCount" from="1" to "9">
Next, I have a query
<cfquery name="getPts" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT *
FROM fantasy_racers
WHERE proName='#pro#''
</cfquery)
** Note: variable pro is set before the query **
I have colums in my table: pts1, pt2, pts3, etc. all the way
to pts25 for each pro in the table.
Now to the heart of the matter
I want to get the amount in each column. EX.: #getPts.pts1#
but since the number of stages can vary I don't want to hard
code for 25 outputs when there may only be 7
so how can I call the column amount but utilize a ridercount
in place of the number
#getPts.pts
ridercount#

Answer 1

You can reference query variables in an array-of-structures
notation:
myQuery["MyColumn"][row]
so you could do something like this:
#getPts["pts" & riderCount][1]#
Combine that syntax with Query.CurrentRow and
Query.recordCount and you should be able to put a loop together
that solves your problem.
