Can ı find the locations of the datas, if I write [a,b]=mink(thearray,3)

[per isakson]

>> m = rand(1,12);
>> [ mn, ix ] = mink(m,3)
mn =
     0.035712      0.14189      0.42176
ix =
    10     4     5
>> m(ix)
ans =
     0.035712      0.14189      0.42176

A = rand(1,91) ; 
[val,idx] = sort(A) ;
iwant = val(1:3) 
locations = idx(1:3)
