How about:

> x <- c(1, 2, 4, 3, 6)
> (1:length(x))[x==4]
[1] 3

Hello. Sorry for the elementary post. I've looked through the documentation, but can't seem to find a function which allows one to extract the position of an element within a list...for example the position of the element 4 in the vector c(1,2,4,3,6) is 3. Thanks much for any help.
