Re: "find" equivalent for strings?

[Tom Holroyd]

In Octave 2.9.3 you can just do

octave:1> m = { 'bob', 'fred', 'bob', 'larry' }
m =

{
  [1,1] = bob
  [1,2] = fred
  [1,3] = bob
  [1,4] = larry
}

octave:2> strcmp(m, 'bob')
ans =

  1  0  1  0

want the vector [1,4,5] returned) ...


Make that

octave:3> find(strcmp(m, 'bob'))
ans =

  1  3
