Grabbing sections of a matrix by using two doubles as the index

Hello everyone,
I am trying to access sections of an array such as:
data = [10 10.5 11.5 13 15 16 20.5 24];
by using the following two arrays:
indStart = [1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0]; indEnd = [0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1];
The final output should look something like this:
result = { [10 1.5 11.5] }
{ [15 16 20.5 24] }
This is what i have tried, along with little variations of it:
result{ : } = data(indStart : indEnd);
The results of my method is either an error, or i can access 1:3, but not get 5:8.
I know i can do this quite easily with a for loop, but i am trying to accomplish this using indexing and logical statements so that processing time stays down. The final script needs to be processed by ga(), so any cut down on processing time is very valuable.
Thank you to anyone who can help!

E.g.,
result = arrayfun(@(x1,x2)data(x1:x2),find(indStart),find(indEnd),'uni',false);
This assumes of course that the indStart and indEnd are consistent and have the appropriate number of 1's etc.
