[R] Finding indices with a certain property

[Göran Broström]

Quick answers to my question:

which(x < 0)

but also

> indices<-function(x)seq(along=x)[x]
> x <- c(1, -1, 3, 3, -2)
> indices(x<0)
[1] 2 5

from some.

The last one is essentially the definition of  which, I think.
I had completely forgotten  which  (where?!?) 

Thanks to Thomas Lumley, Jonathan Rougier, Martin Maechler,
Peter Dalgaard, Brian Ripley!
