The correct title of this article is item # of () in (). PenguinMod Wiki uses Item number of () in () instead because of technical restrictions.

The item # of () in () block is a reporter block in the Lists subcategory that reports the item number of the first occurrence of the inputted item in the selected list. It was introduced in Scratch 3.0.

Workaround

This block can be worked around using the following code, which iterates over the items in the list and checks for the first match:

define find item # of (string1)
set [item number v] to [0] //keep track of the item in the list
if <[list v] contains (string1)?> then
repeat until <(item (item number) of [list v]) = (string1)>
change [item number v] by (1)
end
end
return (item number)::custom cap
