Using the example in the link here are two one-liners:

  A <- c(2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,1,2)
  x <- c(1,2)

  # 1 - zoo
  library(zoo)
  which( rollapply(A, length(x), identical, x, fill = FALSE, align = "left") )
  ## [1] 4 9

  # 2 - Base R using conversion to character
  gregexpr(paste(x, collapse = ""), paste(A, collapse = ""))[[1]]
  ## [1] 4 9
  ...snip ...
