People!
Ever looked up getPos?
Syntax getPos(list, value)
Description List function; identifies the position of the value specified by
value in the list specified by list. When the specified value is not in the
list, the getPos command returns the value 0.
For values contained in the list more than once, only the first occurrence
is displayed. This command performs the same function as the getOne command
when used for linear lists.
Example This statement identifies the position of the value 12 in the list
Answers, which consists of [#a:10, #b:12, #c:15, #d:22]:
getPos(Answers, 12)
The result is 2, because 12 is the second value in the list.
