I want to find the repeating numbers from the array in order. I have tried different repeating functions which tell me the frequency of the numbers, but I want to know the order of the repeating numbers. For example I have an array which is a=[1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,4,4,4,5,5,5,7,7,2,2,2,2] and I want my function to give me the answer 1,2,1,4,5,7,2.

%Given your first element isn't 0
a=[1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,4,4,4,5,5,5,7,7,2,2,2,2];
a(diff([0 a])~=0)
ans = 1×7
1 2 1 4 5 7 2

A robust solution that works for any values:
a = [0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,4,4,4,5,5,5,7,7,2,2,2,2];
a([true,diff(a)~=0])
ans = 1×8
0 1 2 1 4 5 7 2
