Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to get the row
numbers from a filtering. Here's an example:

# give me the rows with sepal.length == 6.2
iris[(iris[,1]==6.2),]

# output
    Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width 
  Species
69           6.2         2.2          4.5         1.5
versicolor
98           6.2         2.9          4.3         1.3
versicolor
127          6.2         2.8          4.8         1.8 
virginica
149          6.2         3.4          5.4         2.3 
virginica

What I really want is that it return the row numbers:
69, 98, 127, 149.

Thanks in advance,

Martin
