another coll question....

i saved the names of presets in a coll. far as i know it`s only possible to look/search for an index and then get the value/name/list whatever from this index.
i want it the other way round!
i want to search for a name and want to have the index at which its stored?
possible?
thanks in advance

I don't think you can get indexes from symbols, but you can get data from symbols. See the help under symbols.
