0 down vote favorite I need to extract every n number of column from my matrix. Please note that not every nth column. For example I have a matrix:
A =
1 23 34 53 67 45 67 45
12 34 45 56 67 87 98 12
1 2 3 45 56 76 87 56
And I want to extract each 3 column, so my data should be like:
X =
1 23 34 67 45 67
12 34 45 67 87 98
1 2 3 56 76 87
So I would skip 4th column then 8th column and so on. I know how to extract every nth column and row but I couldn't figure it out what I need. Appreciated for your help

Here is a general solution to your problem in which you can specify how many columns to keep and how many to delete
colToKeep = 2;
colToDelete = 3;
ColIndex = mod( 0:size(A,2)-1, colToKeep+colToDelete ) < colToKeep;
A(:, ~ColIndex) = [];
Use colToKeep and colToDelete to specify the values.

Just take the transpose of the matrix and apply the same method. At the end take the transpose again to get the correct matrix.

Answer is below where A is a your matrix.
if true
n=4;
A =[1 23 34 53 67 45 67 45
12 34 45 56 67 87 98 12
1 2 3 45 56 76 87 56]
A(:,n:n:end) =[]
end
