How To: Multi-level subindexing

2 views (last 30 days)
I'm tryig to achieve a proper 1-line ndex/sub-indexing operation, but have thus far failed to get the syntax right
ArrayA = sparse(100,100000);
ArrayA(randi(100*100000,[7000 1])) = (82-36).*rand(7000,1)+36;
[ArrayAFull(:,1),ArrayAFull(:,2),ArrayAFull(:,3)] = find(ArrayA);
ArrayB = sparse(100,100000);
ArrayB(randi(100*100000,[7000 1])) = (90-30).*rand(7000,1)+30;
[ArrayBFull(:,1),ArrayBFull(:,2),ArrayBFull(:,3)] = find(ArrayB);
[~,IdxA,IdxB] = intersect(ArrayAFull(:,[1,2]),ArrayBFull(:,[1,2]),'stable','rows');
t1 = ArrayBFull(ArrayBFull(IdxB,1)==1,:); %This is where things go sour
%The next two lines get me the actually desired matrix
t2 = ArrayBFull(IdxB,:);
t2 = t2(t2(:,1)==1,:);
isequal(t1,t2); %false
Is it possible to compress the t2 lines into a single line, or no?

Yes, it is, but it is fairly ugly to do so. You can call upon subsref() manually, possibly having used substruct() to help build the appropriate structure.
It is usually a lot easier to use a helper function. For example,
SelectRowWhere = @(expression, where) expression(expression(:,1)==where,:);
t2 = SelectRowWhere(ArrayBFul(IdxB,:), 1)

The two line version would typically be faster, as calling an anonymous function is notably slower than calling a non-anonymous function.

Understood. Ty for the heads-up.
