I believe the original poster wanted to know whether every value in the array equalled the given value, not whether it occurred once. Perhaps he could clarify. (Of course, now both answers are available in replies.)

Comment on Re^2: Compare all array values without a loop
I think it's not very clear from the original post, but my assumption was that the poster was looking to solve the "is this value in this list" problem, so that's what I solved. I think this is a far more common problem than "is this list composed exclusively of this value"... don't you?
