Solve eqn and get real part of solution in MatLab R2011b

I use MatLab R2011b and want to solve an eqn and get the real part of solution. This is the code:

...

s=solve(y);

...

And this is solution: s =

                                           0.3971412063699492853956558622094
                                          -0.8763850946630804323385057262195
 - 0.13537805585343442652857506799495 - 0.83663803641655759940578883730279*i
 - 0.13537805585343442652857506799495 + 0.83663803641655759940578883730279*i

As you can see "s" has two solutions are real (0.3971 and -0.87638) and two imaginary (with i). The real solution is needed. Which command can be used in this case? Give the example is helpful.

Ok, Thanks!
