Extract certain rows from matrix

1 view (last 30 days)
Hello,
I have extracted the peak data from a 1x86400 matrix in the workspace (named a) using the following command:
[pks,locs]=findpeaks(a)
This results in 'pks' = 1x14382 and the 'locs' positions for the obtained data (Also sized at 1x14382).
I would like to use the locations (locs) from the above to extract data from another 1x86400 data file (in this case named b).
Whats the best approach to do this?

Assuming you read the other data file into another_matrix, the answer is
extracted_data = another_matrix(loc);
I suggest you read about Matrix indexing in MATLAB.
