Subject: How to find the Index of an element in array?
I need to find the index of a particular element in array.
For eg.,
@arr = ('abc', 'xyz', 'mno','pqr','stu','sdfd');
I want to find the index of the element 'pqr' which is 4.
Any function/code to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Mallik.

The index in your case is 3 not 4.
You can achieve by doing -
for(my $i = 0; $i < @arr; $i++)
{
if($arr[$i] eq 'pqr')
{
print "index is $i\n";
}
}
There may be better ways. I would also like to know if there is any better and
cleaner way.
Thanks
