Hi,
the solution I found to the two problems was,
vector = {6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, Null, 6, Null, 44, Null, 4, 4, 5}
Module[{n = 1}, Map[# /. Null :> x[n++] &, vector]]
{6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, x[1], 6, x[2], 44, x[3], 4, 4, 5}
and
MapIndexed[#1 /. Null -> x[#2[[1]]] &, vector]
{6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, x[7], 6, x[9], 44, x[11], 4, 4, 5}
Hope it helps!
Regards,
/Mikael Adlers
