Your coded answer looks right, and is represented in a syntactically correct 
manner. Your "desired" answer looks ambiguous, and is certainly not 
syntactically correct R. If you want ambiguous and vague answers, perhaps you 
need to keep a human in the loop.

Hi,

I need to repor the index of a min value of each row in a matrix, but I
don't know how to do that when I have more than one min value.

Here is my example

> dat <-
matrix(c(5.4,4.8,5.6,4.8,NA,4.4,4.6,3.4,NA,NA,4,2.4,NA,NA,NA,2),byrow=TRUE,ncol=4)

> dat
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,] 5.4 4.8 5.6 4.8
[2,] NA 4.4 4.6 3.4
[3,] NA NA 4.0 2.4
[4,] NA NA NA 2.0
> k <- apply(dat, 1, function(x) which(x == min(x, na.rm = TRUE)))
> k
[[1]]
[1] 2 4

[[2]]
[1] 4

[[3]]
[1] 4

[[4]]
[1] 4

But I need an output like this

k<- 2 or 4, 4, 4, 4

Someone could help me with this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Marlene.
