How to delete a zeros in matrix?

I have a matrix like this

 a=[ 0.7446    0.0364  186.1153         0  134.5022  114.8212   84.7745  130.8661
          0         0   13.8840         0   16.1683   10.4461   69.8035  114.2774];

i want to delete zeros and their corresponding values. The solution should be like this...

 b= [186.1153 134.5022  114.8212   84.7745  130.8661
     13.8840  16.1683   10.4461   69.8035  114.2774];

This will get rid of all columns that have a zero anywhere in them:

colsWithZeros = any(a==0)
b = a(:, ~colsWithZeros)

If a gets a matrix with a single row unexpectedly, this will fail. Better specify the dimension to operate on explicitly:

colsWithZeros = any(a==0, 1)

Matlab's smart guess to operate on the first non-singelton dimension is a keen source of many bugs.

I think this question was already asked before but this code should do it.

b = a(find(a~=0))

[Image Analyst]

Nope.

a(a==0)=[]

a =

Columns 1 through 9 0.7446 0.0364 186.1153 13.8840 134.5022 16.1683 114.8212 10.4461 84.7745 Columns 10 through 12 69.8035 130.8661 114.2774

I think that what's wanted is a 2-row matrix with the relevant columns deleted.

This answer doesn't deliver that - it shares the same problem as Jason Moore's.

Also note that your result has different elements to the matrix b in the question.
