Determining item number matching "x" in a list

I wonder if there is some trivial way to do this without writing a repeat
loop that cycles through every value of the list looking for a match:
I have a list, theList = {"a","b","c","etc"} and I want to know the item
number of the item that matches a variable x. I need something like
"get the item number of x in theList"
which returns a if x = "a", 2 if x = "b" etc.
Did I miss a page in the manual :-)
Thanks,
Steve
