Making elements in an array zero

Hello everyone,

This might be a very basic question or not im not sure.

I have an array say

[1 5 7 9 3 7 0 0 0

1 5 7 9 3 7 0 0 0

1 5 7 9 3 7 0 0 0

1 5 7 9 3 7 0 0 0

1 5 7 9 3 7 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]

I have to empty these zeros from the table maintaing the array structure as the cell locations are assigned to some other variables.

Even though i make them blank in the input file, when it is read using uiget file this appears as nan and that i converted to zero assuming that the interp1 will work out .

But unfortunately it accounts for these zeros and throws unique grid points error.

So i plan to make these zero's blank or rather the nan elements to blank.

Can anyone help me in this?

I cannot disturb the row column used in the array.

Hope to get a solution.

Thank you

So you want to basically replace zeros with nan or remove the entire row/column filled with zeros?

I have to remove the entire rows /column, so that they are not involved in carrying out the interpolation.If i keep them as zeros interpolation throws error.

a(~any(a,2),:)=[]; % where a is your matrix
a(:,~any(a))=[]

This worked

Thank you

Let A be your matrix.

A(A==0) = NaN ;

[deep]

My intention is to remove them, not assign nan.

Thank you
