Question: I need the *index* of the first value in the array, that matches a custom compare function.

The very nice [underscorej](http://underscorejs.org/#find) has a "find" function that returns the first value where a function returns true, but I would need this that returns the index instead. Is there a version of indexOf available somewhere, where I can pass a function used to comparing?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Answer: 
How about such find function ?

```
(function () {
  if (!Array.prototype._find) {
    Array.prototype._find = function (value) {
      var i = -1, j = this.length;
      if (typeof(value)=="function") 
         for(; (++i < j) && !value(this[i]););
      else
         for(; (++i < j) && !(this[i] === value););

      return i!=j ? i : -1;
    }
  }
}());

```
using underscore I came up with something copied from their find implementation using \_.any:

```
findIndex = function (obj, iterator, context) {
    var idx;
    _.any(obj, function (value, index, list) {
        if (iterator.call(context, value, index, list)) {
            idx = index;
            return true;
        }
    });
    return idx;
};

```

What do you think - do you have any better solutions?
