How do I find .index of a multidimensional array

Question

Tried web resources and didnt have any luck and my visual quick start guide.

If I have my 2d/multidimensional array:

 array = [[\'x\', \'x\',\' x\',\'x\'         


        

Answer 1

You could find first in which is the absolute position by flattening the array:

pos = array.flatten.index('S')

Then get the number of columns per row:

ncols = array.first.size

then

row = pos / ncols

col = pos % ncols
