A function added by the Oblivion Script Extender.

Syntax:

(key:stringOrNumber) ar_Find value:stringOrNumberOrForm arrayToSearch:array inRange:range

Locates the first occurrence of the specified value within an array and returns the key associated with it. A range may optionally be specified using range notation, i.e. let key := ar_Find "tofind" arrayVar lowerBound:upperBound. If the value is not found, the function returns Ar_BadStringIndex (an empty string) for string-indexed arrays or Ar_BadNumericIndex (the value -99999.0) for numeric-indexed arrays.


Example

if eval ( ar_Find MyValue MyArray ) ==  Ar_BadNumericIndex
   ;Value not present in array
endif
