Code:
Say I have two lists (list a and b). b contains parts of a. I want to be able to return the position of all of the elements in b from a.
Here is my code so far:

var
    metals=list("a","b","c","d","e","f","g")
    solace_available=list("a","b","f")

proc
    Update_Solace_Costs()
        for(var/i=1,i<length(solace_available),i++)
            var/m = metals.Find(solace_available[i],1,0)
            world << m



Problem description:


When I compile it just says this:

Solace Stock.dm:13:error:metals.Find:undefined proc

I just can't work out what going on.

Thanks for any help that you can offer.

DOH! Yet another thing that I managed to work out the minute after I posted for help.

Sorry guys but I worked it out. I hadn't defined my list with the type var/list/<list name> and hence the .Find list proc wouldn't recognise my lists as lists. Thanks anyway for reading and sorry for posting when I shouldv'e just kept workign at it.
