% FINDARRAYINTOARRAY  Finds array 'whereToFind' elements in array 'toBeFound'

%     ---------------------------------------------------------
%     Inputs are transformed into columns. Uses find().

%     INPUT:

%     OUTPUT:

%       col = column numbers of 'toBeFound' in 'whereToFind' <double>
%       val = value of 'whereTofFind(row,col)'
