How to find the adjecent values of zeros blocks inside a matrix

Hi lets assume i have a matrix like in the example. I would like to have 2 vectors containing the left and the right of adjecent values of zero blocks of a size 5x3. In the example, would give me Vectorleft1 with five 0.92 values, Vectorright1 with five 0.441 values, Vectorleft2 with five 0.7542 and vectorright2 with five 0.528. The vectors could be inside a cell or something.

The third line of 0.9200 has a 1 x 5 array of zeros. It is not clear from your descriptions that that block should not be located. It is not clear from your description that the zeros being looked for always start in column 2 or column 5.

%guess: a block of 6 zeros should be treated as the first case ?
mask2 = all(Data(:,2:4) == 0,2);
mask5 = all(Data(:,5:7) == 0,2) & ~mask2;
Vectorleft1 = Data(mask2, 1);
Vectorright1 = Data(mask5, 4);

[row,col] = find(Data(:,1:end-4) ~= 0 & Data(:,2:end-3) == 0 & Data(:,3:end-2) == 0 & Data(:,4:end-1) == 0 & Data(:,5:end) ~= 0);
