AW: Finding the index of the smallest value in a vector

[Ploett Norbert]

Soren,

I found an even better answer myself - just did not come to think of trying
"help min":
min can be called with two output parameters:

[x, ix] = min ([1, 3, 0, 2, 5])

the second is the index i am looking for.

Thanks and bye,


Norbert

Hi,
If I understand you correctly you should be able to use find:

find( vector == min(vector) )
