Elementary question on 2da file reading

[grodrigues]

The following code:

COPY - ~spell_tweaks/components/desc_fixes/2da/spelldesc.2da~ ~override~
    READ_2DA_ENTRIES_NOW rows 3
    PATCH_PRINT "Number of rows: %rows%."
    READ_2DA_ENTRY_FORMER rows 1 1 spellname
    PATCH_PRINT "Spell name: %spellname%."
    READ_2DA_ENTRY_FORMER rows 1 2 spelldesc
    PATCH_PRINT "Description: %spelldesc%."
    READ_2DA_ENTRY_FORMER rows 1 3 modify
    PATCH_PRINT "Modify? %modify%."

Prints correctly that the number of rows is 1 but then barfs on the first READ_2DA_ENTRY_FORMER. Why oh why? Test 2da file attached.

First row/column starts at '0', not '1'.

Thanks. I was either misled, or misread, the docs because I got the impression that the array was 1-indexed.
