How can I keep two indices preserved in MATLAB ?

Hi All,

This is a snapshot of the table that I am working on.

I need the indices of the [row] and [column] BOTH columns of the table to be preserved when I move on to the next iteration.

Simply, for B = 0.0891 I should be able to tell that row = 1 and column = 2, once after I move on to the next iteration, but the position of that element in the next iteration migh not be at the first place as in this case.

I hope you got my question.

Thank you.

This is the table that I am discussing about.....

I do not understand. But if you need to, you could add another variable to the table that was the original row number inside the table. Then if you end up re-arranging the rows of the table, you would still be able to tell which row an entry was originally.

Thanks Walter for your prompt reply,

I can manage preserving the row number, but the problem is I need to preserve both row number and the column number.

You have any suggestion for that ?

[Walter Roberson]

What column number are you trying to preserve? Are you trying to preserve the value of the variable named 'column' (variable #5)? If so then just keep the column.

Hi Walter,

What I actually want is to keep the (row, column) set preserved for each and every entry even the position of the entries change in a later iteration.

Thanks.

To preserve it don't disturb the value ..simple..

[Walter Roberson]

ismember the moved data against the original data and take the second output to get the linear index in the original data.

Okay I will try.

Anyway thanks for the support.
