GetPos[{x_, y_}, mat_List] := mat[[y, x]]; GetCoord[value_, mat_List] := Reverse /@ Position[mat, value]; mat = Partition[Range[9], 3]; GetPos[{1, 3}, mat] 7 GetCoord[%, mat] {{1, 3}} This is a list of coordinates since, in general, there can be more than one coordinate with the specified value. For example, mat = IdentityMatrix[3]; GetCoord[1, mat] {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}} Bob Hanlon In a message dated 12/6/00 3:08:08 AM, stephhebert at yourpants~videotron.ca writes: >Ok, let's say I have this > > 1 2 3 > ----------- > 1| 1 2 3 > 2| 4 5 6 > 3| 7 8 9 > >A 3x3 matrice or array.
