Hey Alain,
thanks. I did this and got 16 matches
w = 0 1 2 3 4 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
When I go and print off jd2(w) (smaller array) and jd1(w) (larger array) I get this
IDL> print, jd1(w)
2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2 2455771.2
IDL> print, jd2(w)
2455774.0 2455773.6 2455772.9 2455773.0 2455772.7 2455778.0 2455778.0 2455776.9 2455776.9 2455783.8 2455782.6 2455781.9 2455781.9 2455780.7 2455775.0 2455774.8
Which aren't the same values. I'm not sure I understand this.

However, it only searches up to the 70 first lines of the larger array and dosen't give all the possible matches.
