Something like:

        (1:length(x))[x == min(x)]

Does it. There is also a which() function:

        which(x == min(x))

This does it too.

Use negated row and column indices:

        m <- matrix(1:12, nrow = 3)
        # drop the second row
        m[-2, ]
        # drop the second column
        m[ ,-2]

        m <- matrix(c(1, 2, 2, 3), nrow = 2)
        m[m == 2] <- 0
        m

I Hope that helps. These sorts of questions are dealt with very fully in
most of the introductory texts available in the help system and from the
CRAN website.
