complete hand ranking

Where can I find a complete hand ranking table?
I have a table with the all 1176 combination of 5 cards. I need the rank for them.

Someone can help me?
TX!

1176 combinations of 5 cards? Is that a joke?

Maybe he means of 52 cards, 1172 different combinations including order:

i.e. AcJc4s7hJd != AcJc4sJd7h

I know what he means. 1176 is laughably low. There are going to be well over 300,000,000. And you mean eg, not ie

This type of ranking is not possible. Why is a straight flush in clubs any better than a straight flush in hearts? Suits are not ranked. But if they are, and you are writing a sim, why not just create a datatype that uses the cards as digits, and each suit is wqorth more than an the other. That way you can just run a for-next loop and have it create a table for you.

Now, if you ask nicely, I can post the code I developed to rank the hands per normal poker rankings. It works fine 5 card combinations, and that way you can increment a hand and it will give it a value. Its a little rusty since I never totally finished it, but you can easily mop it up....
