[newbie] return index(s) for value?

Is there a function 'foo' such that, given an array and a value, iff the value is present in the array, it returns the index(s) of the value? E.g.,
matrix(1:9, nrow=3) -> grid grid
[,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 4 7 [2,] 2 5 8 [3,] 3 6 9
foo(grid, median(grid))
[1] c(2,2)
which(grid==median(grid), arr.ind=TRUE) Uwe Ligges
I'm sure I could code this with nested loops, but am nearly as sure that this functionality must already exist in R ... since there's so much functionality already in R !-) Apologies if this is a FAQ, but a fair amount of googling via rseek.org is not finding an answer (probably because I'm not using the correct search terms). Feel free (in fact, be encouraged :-) to reply directly to me as well as to the list (I'm on the digest, which gets huge). TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche at pobox.com>
