Error in Arrays wiki

[lorenzo.santina.dev@…]

At wiki page:
​https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Arrays#Arrays_in_Arrays

in the seciton Arrays in Arrays there is this sentence:

"The thing is, there is no way to directly access that array stored in the element. You have to go through a variable to get access to the embedded array which may make your code overly complicated and difficult to debug."

This is NOT true.

In fact you CAN directly access the array stored in an element of another array, without go through a variable, doing so:

($arr[0])[0] ;first element of the array stored in the first element of $arr

I rewrote the script example in that page:

Local $arr[3]

Local $a1[3] = [2, "a1-1","a1-2"]
Local $a2[3] = [2, "a2-1","a2-2"]

$arr[0] = 2
$arr[1] = $a1
$arr[2] = $a2

For $i = 1 to $arr[0]
    If IsArray($arr[$i]) Then
        For $j = 1 to ($arr[$i])[0]
            ConsoleWrite("($arr[" & $i & "])[" & $j & "] := " & ($arr[$i])[$j] & @LF)
        Next
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("!>Oops!, What happened? Expected an array!" & @LF)
    EndIf
Next

Please update the wiki

I never thought such syntax

($arr[$i])[$j]

was legal.

Is it described in the standard Help?

Yes, just found in AutoIt Language Reference..
Bottom of the page:
​https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/lang_variables.htm

"Data types in Arrays"

$aArray[0] = 1
$aArray[1] = True
$aArray[2] = "Text"
$aArray[3] = $aAnotherArray

Local $aInternal[3] = ["A", "B", "C"] ; Declare an array
Local $aContainer[1] = [$aInternal] ; Declare a container array holding the first
$sString = ($aContainer[0])[1] ; $sString holds "B"
; Note the requirement to enclose the first array element definition in ( )

Well done, I never figure out it was so hard to find
Many thanks
