Indirect Addressing Question

[Hartmut Henkel]

Please excuse the following newbie question:

With

a = [1 1 1 1 1]
q = [1 1 1 2 2]

the following

a(q(1:5)) = a(q(1:5)) + 10

gives

a = 11 11 1 1 1

But I would expect

a = 31 21 1 1 1

which I get by running the loop

for i = 1 : 5
  a(q(i)) = a(q(i)) + 10
endfor

It seems that such indirect addressing is not allowed. Is there a trick
to circumvent the for-loop?

Greetings Hartmut
