try this:

x <- c(3,3,3,3,0,0,0,0,5,5,5,5,8,8,8,8)
x <- matrix(x, nrow=4)

which(colSums(x == 0) == nrow(x))

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

Dear R community
I have a problem regarding which of the column in a matrix contains all of zero 
elements. e.g.
x=c(3,3,3,3,0,0,0,0,5,5,5,5,8,8,8,8); x=matrix(x, nrow=4)
the output is
x
     [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
[1,]    3    0    5    8
[2,]    3    0    5    8
[3,]    3    0    5    8
[4,]    3    0    5    8
In this case the required column is second so the result should be "2". How can i get it? best regards

Muhammad Azam
