Hi,
I have a vector A :
A = [ 10 20 30 40 50 60 50 40 30 20 10]
I want to find the nearest index where it crosses 18, so in this case it would be 2 and 10.
AA = find(A=18)
Thanks!

Do you want to find the index for every time it crosses 18:
for example if
A = [10 20 30 40 50 60 50 40 30 21 10]
the answer would still be 2 and 10... or just 2?

Hi,
you are looking for sign changes of A-18:
find((A(2:end)-18).*(A(1:end-1)-18) < 0)
Hope this helps,
Titus

I just want to complement the answer, so the right index is shown if is nearer as the left:
tmp = find((A(2:end)-18).*(A(1:end-1)-18) < 0)
B = tmp + (abs(A(tmp) - 18) > abs(A(tmp+1)-18))

find( A == 18 + min( abs( A - 18 ) ) )
is a one-liner to do what you want. Personally I would probably do it as multiple lines, but the idea is the same.

That's better than mine, because my code always selects the point to the left, Adam's picks the one that's nearer ...
