Hi,

I want to find the first non-zero value of an array. Is there a faster
way to do this than with the "where" command: (where(array ne 0))[0]
"Where" will look for all non-zero values and I only need the first
one. It would be great if I could stop "where" in its search process
as soon as it found one element...
