Can anybody help me figure out how I can get the position of a string inside an array.

For instance,

myArray[“hello”, “goodbye”, “sayonara”];

myString = “goodbye”;

Whats the simplest way to get the index in myArray that myString occupies (ie. 1)? Something like the string-method indexOf() but for arrays would be great…
