[R] Simple - Finding vector in a vector

[Mike Spam]

Sorry, i just realized, that it output the sum of all vectors. I can
work with this function but it would be much faster and easier if it
would be possible to get the positions of evry match.

example:

NA  1 NA  1  1  1  1  1  1 NA  1

rle returns
lengths: int [1:6] 1 1 1 6 1 1

what i need would be something like,
1 1 1 3 3 3 3 1 1

but anyway i can work with rle, if there is no suitable function.

thanks,
Nico
