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
