Hey I think I already know the answer to this, but is there any optimixed way to create and access an inputed number of lists? Something to the effect of:
For(A,1,7
{1,2,3}->L(A)
End
Which would store {1 2 3} into L1- L7. I was hoping to avoid having to refer to each list in turn:
{1,2,3}->L1
{1,2,3}->L2....
I'm not too hopeful, but it was worth a shot!
Thanks!

| Do the lists have identical dimentions? |

Yeah, within one element, but that could easily be a zero if you want it to.
Thanks!

um, without the use of asm prgms, you cant have a variable in the name of a list ( L(A) )
but...this is the best way (without asm):
{1,2,3->L1
L1->L2
L1->L3
L1->L4
L1->L5
L1->L6
etc. |

Even better:
{1,2,3->L1
Ans->L2
Ans->L3
Ans->L4
Ans->L5
etc. |

um, no! they have the same size! L1 and Ans both take up one byte! |

Yeah I didn't think there was any faster way. Thanks for the suggestions, but I was a little too vauge in my original description. (I was in a hurry) In detail, what I was planning on doing was dealing out a deck of cards to however many people.
Thinking about it now I think I'll use code to the effect of:
Input "Players?",N
0->B
For(A,1,52,N
B+1->B
LDECK(A)->L1(B)
If N>1
LDECK(A+1)->L2(B)
If N>2
LDECK(A+2)->L3(B)
.....
End
If this works like it does in my head (there are probably errors, this is the first type I actually wrote it out, it should divide the shuffled LDECK into equal "hands".
For example, if there were four players, the loop should execute 13 times, and each list 1-4 would have 13 cards. I will of course have a minimum and maximum number of players, I just haven't decided on the numbers yet.
Thanks again though!

Spyder was actually using named lists in case you didn't notice. As far as I know, there is no "L7"  |
