Variable cannot be accessed in this manner

[Apophus]

I'm scratching my head raw trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong in the short script below causing the "Variable cannot be accessed" error

#Include <File.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
$idir = "D:\LittleOne Music\My IPOD"

;             Get list of sub-folders in $idir

$FolderList=_FileListToArray($iDir)
$edl = $FolderList[0]

;             $edl = number of sub-folders in $idir

;             Now get a list of the files in each sub-folder - set $mdir to the name of the $dix(nth) sub-folder

For $dix = 1 To $edl
   $mdir = $FolderList($dix)
   $FileList=_FileListToArray($mdir)              ==> Variable cannot be accessed in this manner.
Next

Change the parentheses to square brackets and it should work. 😎

Welcome to the forum. In short, your issue is you have no error checking. I see the likely issue, but this is a good learning opportunity. Does $mdir return what you would expect it to?

Edit: Or forget the whole "Teach a Man to Fish" motto 😄

Thank you. I was mistakenly sure that parentheses were the proper symbols to enclose a subscript. Hard to tell the difference on my laptop. I also didn't place the error message on the correct line; should have been on $mdir = $FolderList($dix) .
