#additem CardList {%remove(%item(@CardList2,%random(1,%numitems(@CardList2))),@CardList2)}

I don't know why that doesn't work.
Can someone tell me why it doesn't work? Thank you!

What exactly isn't working? What's the value of @CardList2?

I'm not 100% but I think you really want to be using %delitem(s,list) instead of %remove.

Yeah I tried that first, It seems to be not working with just: %delitem(%item(@CardList2,%random(1,%numitems(@CardList2))),@CardList2) being considered.

It acts much differently if you replace %delitem with %additem

My fifty-second post, and I'm talking about cards..

If you are trying to remove it from one list and it to the other you may need to do it several steps.

Yes that'll work.
But do you know the first trigger does not work? I have somewhat of an idea.

because #delitem returns the new value of the variable expanded... this|that|theother
if you pass that to #ADDITEM in thinks its all one string entry of "this|that|theother"

It does it to this line too shalimar

%delitem(%item(@CardList2,%random(1,%numitems(@CardList2))),@CardList2)

But it does think it is all one string..

If I really needed to have that as one function, I would try to work with %exec() or %eval() or %number(), but I wouldn't know which or suppose why just now.
