Welcome. The main advantage of array_indices is that it can think in multi-dimensions and I can't ;-)

Those are the indices I used in the last line: indx mod Ni and indx / Ni.

Use array_indices


print, array_indices(array, where(array eq 1))

Thanks for the reply, but what I am looking for are the X and Y
positions of where the array equals 1. So in your example, how would
I get X=4 and Y=7 from the subscripts generated by the WHERE command?

Here's an example:

IDL> Ni=10
IDL> Nj=20
IDL> A=bytarr(Ni,Nj)
IDL> A[4,7]=1
IDL> indx=where(A eq 1)
IDL> print,A[indx mod Ni, indx / Ni]
1
