Better isInArrayFunction - (isInArray(arr,val[,checkindex])

[Mock]

function isInArray(arr,val,checkindex) --By Mock the bear (MTB)
	assert(type(arr)=='table','#1 must be a table')
	for i,b in pairs(arr) do
		if (checkindex and i == val) or (not checkindex and b == val) then
			return true, checkindex and b or i
		end
	end
     return false
end

This is the function that i use.
The old isInArray return only true. This function return false and the value from table.
You can use like this:

local tabl = {"hi","My","Name",4,"is","mock",lol="mock"}
local dat,find = isInArray(tabl,'mock')
if dat then print("The index form the find is:"..find) end
---- Or
local dat,find = isInArray(tabl,8,true)
if not dat then
   print('There is no index 8')
end
local dat,find = isInArray(tabl,'lol',true)
if dat then
     print('the index lol get a value:'..find)
end

The it will print:

The index form the find is:6
There is no index 8
the index lol get a value:mock

table.find is similar but it can't check indexes

the only problem is that it is not "CaSe sEnsItive", but still can be easily fixed
