What about this: A = {{1, 2, 3}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}}; elements = {3, 6}; Position[A, #]& /@ elements {{{1, 3}, {2, 1}}, {{3, 1}}} ?? Have fun, Alexei i have matrix A and wanted to find the Positions in this matrix of some elements which listed in some another vector. how to use Position to do it without a loop? I tried this: In[192]:= A={{1,2,3}, {3,4,5}, {6,7,8}}; elements={3,6}; Position[A,r[[1]]] Out[194]= {{1,1}} Position[A,r[[2]]] Out[197]= {{1,2}} but I want to do something like Position[A,r] but this does not work. I tried Map, Thread, etc.. but could not get it to work. not sure what the syntax is. thanks for help steve -- Alexei Boulbitch, Dr. habil. Senior Scientist Material Development IEE S.A.
