Hi all,

seems to be that operations within the new multidim array notation won't work :

(found that one by replacing all "][" with "," in my hearts fragment)

This works :

code:
break on cls

dim $Hands[3]

$Deck = c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9,c_10,c___j,c__q,c_k,ca,
        d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7,d8,d9,d_10,d___j,d__q,d_k,da,
        s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7,s8,s9,s_10,s___j,s__q,s_k,sa,
        x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9,x_10,x___j,x__q,x_k,xa

;here is normally a shuffle routine

;excerpt of the Deal routine
$Hands[0] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""
$Hands[1] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""
$Hands[2] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""
$Hands[3] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""
for $i = 0 to ubound($Deck) step 4
    $Hands[1][$i/4] = $Deck[$i]
    $Hands[2][$i/4] = $Deck[$i+1]
    $Hands[3][$i/4] = $Deck[$i+2]
    $Hands[0][$i/4] = $Deck[$i+3]
next

get $
This (new kind of writing it) won't [Eek!] (Script Error: expected ']')

code:
break on cls

dim $Hands[3]

$Deck = c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9,c_10,c___j,c__q,c_k,ca,
        d2,d3,d4,d5,d6,d7,d8,d9,d_10,d___j,d__q,d_k,da,
        s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7,s8,s9,s_10,s___j,s__q,s_k,sa,
        x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9,x_10,x___j,x__q,x_k,xa

;here is normally a shuffle routine

$Hands[0] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""
$Hands[1] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""
$Hands[2] = "","","","","","","","","","","","",""

for $i = 0 to ubound($Deck) step 4
    $Hands[1,$i/4] = $Deck[$i]
    $Hands[2,$i/4] = $Deck[$i+1]
    $Hands[3,$i/4] = $Deck[$i+2]
    $Hands[0,$i/4] = $Deck[$i+3]
next

get $
Please enlight as I nearly lost my mind in spotting the looney here
