c# Array.FindAllIndexOf which FindAll IndexOf

string[] myarr = new string[] {"s", "f", "s"};

int[] v = myarr.Select((b,i) => b == "s" ? i : -1).Where(i => i != -1).ToArray();

This will return 0, 2

If the value does not exist in the array then it will return a int[0].

make an extension method of it

public static class EM
{
    public static int[] FindAllIndexof<T>(this IEnumerable<T> values, T val)
    {
        return values.Select((b,i) => object.Equals(b, val) ? i : -1).Where(i => i != -1).ToArray();
    }
}

and call it like

string[] myarr = new string[] {"s", "f", "s"};

int[] v = myarr.FindAllIndexof("s");

You can write something like :

string[] someItems = { "cat", "dog", "purple elephant", "unicorn" }; 
var selectedItems = someItems.Select((item, index) => new{
    ItemName = item,
    Position = index});

or

var Items = someItems.Select((item, index) => new{
    ItemName = item,
    Position = index}).Where(i => i.ItemName == "purple elephant");

Read : Get the index of a given item using LINQ


I know this is an old post, but you can try the following,

string[] cars = {"Volvo", "BMW", "Volvo", "Mazda","BMW","BMW"};
var res = Enumerable.Range(0, cars.Length).Where(i => cars[i] == "BMW").ToList();

returns {1,4,5} as a list
