Thread Subject: sqeeze 2D arrays

The sqeeze documentation says:

"Two-dimensional arrays are unaffected by squeeze"

if I have a 1x15 array, can I not squeze it inot a row vector of length 15 ??

this is because findstr only works when the input sting is one row.

You can use shiftdim, permute, transpose. If you might get a row OR column vector (or anything else), you can combine the single colon operator with transpose:
a(:)' % produces row vector regardless of size(a)

I am confused. A 1x15 array IS a row vector of length 15. It is also 2D, so squeeze does nothing to it.

I just realized that my question was made under false pretenses. Sorry about that.
