Thread Subject: how to get index of seeked element in vector?

i have managed to get a cell array "found" which looks like this:
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0

now I would need a function that returns the index of the "1", i.e. in this example "4".
can anybody please help me with this (for me tricky) problem? :)

thanks, patrick

Is it a cell array or a vector, you seem to indicate both. Have a look at the find function.

btw. one solution that works is following:

wbIDX = 1;
while found(wbIDX) ~= 1
    wbIDX = wbIDX + 1;
end

but I think there must be a nicer solution without a loop?

well I generated it with the isempty function and matlab says it's a <1x10> logical
guess it's a vector now *blush*

ooooh, the "find"-function works perfectly, I knew it had to be as simple as that =)
thanks alot
