I got the array as shown
I would like to extract the index (idx) of the first and last non zero in column, how can I do that.
The expected return of the code is
data(idx_first) = [1 1 2]
data(idx_last) = [1 5 5]

x = [0 1 0 4; 1 2 0 1; 0 1 2 0; 0 0 0 0]
[m, n] = size(x);
ind = zeros(1, n);
for i=1:n
xlast = find(x(:, i), 1, 'last');
ind(i) = sub2ind([m n], xlast, i);
end
x(ind)

[m, n] = size(x);
ind = nan(1, n);
for i=1:n
xlast = find(x(:, i), 1, 'last');
if ~isempty(xlast)
ind(i) = sub2ind([m n], xlast, i);
end
end
y = zeros(1,n);
ind0 = ~isnan(ind);
y(ind0) = x(ind(ind0))

A = [0 89 90 0 99 100 0] ;
id1 = find(A,1,'first')
id2 = find(A,1,'last')
