Extracting data

yingmu huadao — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 06:08:01 -0500

Hi all,

I have a variable, a = <1 x 102300 double>. How do I go about extracting data from every 4 numbers and store the data in another variable, for eg, the 1,5,9,13 (position) data, store in variable b.
Thanks in advance.

clear all;
b=ones(1,length(a)/4);
c=0;
for i=1:length(a)
    if rem(i,4)==0
        c=c+1;
        b(c)=a(i);
    end
end

Run above code with your values in stored in a variable

b=a(1:4:end)
