Replacing same rows with same variables in first to third column

7 views (last 30 days)
Hi. I have two matrices named aa and m.
aa=[1 2 3 7
4 5 6 8
7 8 9 9
3 2 3 8
6 5 6 7
7 8 7 9];
mm=[1 2 3 5
4 5 6 9
7 8 9 6];
I want to replace the rows of aa with the rows of m that have the same values in first to third column.
How can I do that?
Thanks a lot.

What if m is
mm=[1 2 3 5
1 2 3 9
4 5 6 9
7 8 9 6];
Which row of m, the first or the second, should replace the first row of aa?

In my case there are only one same rows in ‘aa’ and ‘mm’

No need for loops at all! Use both outputs of ismember and replace accordingly
aa = [1 2 3 7
4 5 6 8
7 8 9 9
3 2 3 8
6 5 6 7
7 8 7 9
1 2 3 999];
mm = [1 2 3 5
4 5 6 9
7 8 9 6];
[tf,loc] = ismember(aa(:,1:3),mm(:,1:3),'rows')
% tf indicates which rows in aa are found where (loc) in mm (only for columns 1-3)
aa(tf,:) = mm(loc(tf),:) % replace those rows

aa(1:3,1:3) = mm(1:3,1:3) ;
