Thread Subject:

Selecting values in matrix based on index

Hi Everyone,

I thought I had this one nailed, but I can't seem to get what i want:

Suppose I have a matrix A:

A = [1 5; 2 3; 4 4]

and B

B = [1 3]

Now, I want to select the values in A given by the index in B, but in column 2, not column 1

If I use the command:

C = A(B)

I get the correct rows, but not the correct column.

What am I missing?

Kind regards,

Ulrik.

Sorry, to waste time. I got it:

C = A(B,2)

Correct me if I am wrong...
