[ staticarray->findposition ]
The [staticarray->findposition] method searches the array for the parameter and returns an array of positions for those elements which match.
Accepts a single parameter of any data type including matchers. Optionally accepts a integer which is the offset position to begin searching the array at. If the array contains any pair values, only the first part of the pair is compared with the parameter of the [staticarray->findposition] method.
If no elements in the array match the parameter to the [staticarray->findposition] method, or the offset parameter is outside of the size of the array, then an empty array is returned.
Note: this method returns objects of type array.
