Locate an element in an array array

General

Hello everyone, I have an array of elements. Each element is an array of elements.

I would like to know the id of the element which contains a string for example "phConsigne" (in the example it should tell me 3).

I therefore use the method msg.payload.indexOf("phConsigne") but it does not find it and indicates "not found" -1

Do you know what the fault is?
Thanks

msg.payload.forEach((element,index) => {
    if (element.indexOf("phConsigne") > -1) msg.localised = index
});

return msg

Object.keys(msg.payload).forEach(index => {
    
    let localised = msg.payload[index].indexOf(msg.label)
    if (localised != -1){
        msg.localised=index
    }

})

return msg

snap :rofl: :joy: :rofl:

OK yours is shorter :grinning: But to combine the two using the input of msg.label -

msg.payload.forEach((element, index) => {
    if (element.indexOf(msg.label) > -1) msg.localised = index
});
return msg

:star_struck: it's beautiful when you know! thanks guys @smcgann99 @KarolisL

For fun: In a 1 liner :wink: ...

msg.localised = msg.payload.map((e, i) => e.includes(msg.label)?i:null).find(e => e!==null)
return msg
