Take 2: Creating a matrix from information in two other matrixes

Hi Everyone,

I know it is probably bad manners to start this post anew. But given that there was much confucion in the old thread, I hope it is okay just this once.

Suppose I have a matrix A

A = [2 3 1;1 5 0]

And another matrix B

B = [2 1 3;2 3 1]

Now I wish to create a matrix C, which looks like this

C = [3 2 1;0 1 5]

The procedure that creates C is in words as follows:
C(1,1):
"Look at B's row 1. Locate the number 1. Find the corresponding number i A. Answer=3"
C(1,2):
"Look at B's row 1. Locate the number 2. Find the corresponding number i A. Answer=2"
C(1,3):
"Look at B's row 1. Locate the number 3. Find the corresponding number i A. Answer=1"
C(2,1):
"Look at B's row 2. Locate the number 1. Find the corresponding number i A. Answer=0"
C(2,2):
"Look at B's row 2. Locate the number 2. Find the corresponding number i A. Answer=1"
C(2,3):
"Look at B's row 2. Locate the number 3. Find the corresponding number i A. Answer=5"

What code will generate C in general. In other words, the example shows rows of 2 and columns of 3. But what is there are r rows and c columns (in both A and B)?

Kind regards,

Ulrik.

See the solutions in your other thread. Also, your example is wrong - as I explained in the other thread!
