Elementwise division in matrix notation

Dear all,
I am trying to write the following code in matrix notation:
A = B. / C;
A, B and C are column vectors with 1435 rows.
I have already managed to do this with multiplication, i.e.:
D = E.*F;
This is equivalent to
D = diag(F)*E;
Also in this case D, E and F are also column vectors with 1435 rows.
I want to do this because it is more foolproof and does not give results if the dimensions do not match.
Best,
Hylke

Try getting rid of the space between the dot and the slash:
A = B ./ C;
If the length of B and C don't match, you might want to consider if you even want to divide them. Like, WHY don't they match? If one is shorter to you want to just assign the "left over" elements to something specific, like 0 or 1 or B or C or something?

Not using diag() will also give an error. Look:
B = rand(10, 1);
C = rand(2, 1);
A = B ./ C;
