how to use eval?

var fns = ['orde', 'no', 'kml', 'snf', 'td', 'ty', 'tn', ...up to 21
elms...];
var snv = new Array();

var vals = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
for (j = 0; j < fns.length; j++)
vals[j] = some value;
snv[i] = new makeData(vals);
}

function makeData(vals) {
for (k = 0; k < vals.length; k++)
//the following line doesn't work
eval("this."+fns[k]+"="+vals[k]);
//neither this one
this.eval(fns[k]) = vals[k]);
}

how can i make it without writing it the long way:

this.orde = vals[0];
this.no = vals[1];
this.kml = vals[2];

and so on?

this[fns[k]] = vals[k];

But that seems like an odd thing to want to do.

Please don't put your sig at the top of your message, most good newsreader
and email software automatically trims it, so the entire content of your
message is lost! You might find it useful to install OE Quote Fix.

You've got me wondering how he's managed to get OE to preserve the ' '
of '-- ' without OEQF.

But *good* software will only trim it from replies (*really* good
software would IMHO leave it present but greyed and copyable but not
editable, and would remove the greyed lines at the point of transmission
as news/mail).

To trim it from the version presented for reading would be ludicrous.

No Content-Type heade, no character declaration or
`Content-Type: ...; charset=us-ascii' will "allow"
this in OE.
