Conditional split into columns

Hi all, I have got this array A=[10 20 30 40 50 10 20 30 40 10 30 30 40 .. .. Val]

My goal is to create a new column once an element of value 10 occurs in the array. Then I want to make a maximum of each particular column.

10 10 10

20 20 ..

30 30 ..

40 40

50

[50] [40] [..]

I tried some built in function within a loop (like sum, reshape, splitarray etc.) but there has always been an error which I did not understand quite much. Would anybody give me a hint, please?

Thank you.

All elements of an array/matrix must contain a value. What value do you put into the second row third column position?

You might be able to bodge this together with a conversion to char, use strsplit (or even textscan), and use cellfun to convert back to double and find the max.

You could use a cell array,

A=[10 20 30 40 50 10 20 30 40 10 30 30 10 20 10 10 20 30];
inds = find(A==10);
res = arrayfun(@(x,y) A(x:y-1),inds,[inds(2:end) numel(A)+1],'uni',0)

and then to find the maximum,

 maxRes = cellfun(@max,res)
