Working on Binary Data using MATLAB

have loaded a text file test file in matlab. The load function has now created a variable test with values

1 2  3  4   5
2 3 NaN NaN NaN

Now I have a initialized variable X = [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] and Y = [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0]. I want X to read the first row of test variable and corresponding to the number it reads change its value of the element from 0 to 1. Suppose it reads 1, it should change its element X(1) from 0 to 1. Similarly Y should do the same wrt second row of test.

Any idea how should I proceed?

X(test(1,~isnan(test(1,:)))) = 1;
Y(test(2,~isnan(test(2,:)))) = 1;
