How to Find First Min Value And Index it??

Hello, I have a matrix for example looks like this

q=[5 8 1

 4 1 0
 2 3 1]
minq=min(q(:))
I want to index it so something like [row col]=find(q==minq)

the problem is that this will index all of the 1's. I just want it to index it the first 1. keep in mind this is just an example and I am actually working with hundreds of thousands of grid blocks and this is the only way I can get the solution to converge. Thank you so much!

[row col]=find(q==minq,1,'first')

or

q=[5 8 1
 4 1 2
 2 3 1]
[minq,Loc]=min(q(:));
[row col]=ind2sub(size(q),Loc)

Thank you for your help! May I ask another questions? If I wanted to do a for loop, so that on the second loop, it indexes the second 1, how would i go about doing so? Thank you for your help

If you want the second, third index, then use your original method, [row col]=find(q==minq). The returned "row" and "col" are vectors containing all the index. You can loop through the elements of "row" and "col".
