ruby - Find indices of elements that match a given condition

Question

Given an array, how can I find all indices of elements those match a given condition?

For example, if I have:

arr = ['x', 'o', 'x', '.', '.', 'o', 'x']

To find all indices where the item is x, I could do:

arr.each_with_index.map { |a, i| a == 'x' ? i : nil }.compact   # => [0, 2, 6]

or

(0..arr.size-1).select { |i| arr[i] == 'x' }   # => [0, 2, 6]

Is there a nicer way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Ruby 1.9:

arr = ['x', 'o', 'x', '.', '.', 'o', 'x']
p arr.each_index.select{|i| arr[i] == 'x'} # =>[0, 2, 6]
