I suspect you're looking for the element in the namespaceUri
array which is at the position determined by looking up the 
position of 'prefix' in the namespacePrefix array (how very 
unsettling). Assuming namespaceEnd is actually the count of 
elements in the namespacePrefix array, would this work?

your_value = (i = namespace_prefix.index(prefix)) ?
                namespace_uri[i] :
                nil

Where 'your_value' will now contain the namespace_uri value,
or nil if it was not found in namespace_prefix

If i've misunderstood your question, post back with the values
of prefix, namespacePrefix, namespaceUri and namespaceEnd, and 
what you expect to get out of it and I'll see if I can't help.
