How to delete cell entries with an index vector

Dear community,

I have a cell

A=cell(m,n)

and a logical vector

b=(m,1)

containing logical ones and zeros (true, false). What I like to do now is to delete the cell entries, if there is a logical one

A(b,:)=[];

But the error is: Index of element to remove exceeds matrix dimensions. What have I done wrong?

Thanks a lot!

n=3;
m=6;
A=num2cell(rand(m,n))
idx=[1 0 0 1 1 0]
A(logical(idx),:)=[]

Hi!

Are you sure that b is not longer than size(1) of A? Is b really a logical vector with true or false? I have no problem if I use

n=3
m=5
A=cell(m,n)
b=false(m,1)
b(2) = true
b(5) = true
A(b,:)=[]

An error is thrown for

A=cell(m,n)
b(6) = true
A(b,:)=[]

Thanks for your answers, I still have the error code:

Index of element to remove exceeds
matrix dimensions.

I checked the sizes now for 100 times :D I don't know what could help me, m is always the same.

I'm wondering where your error message comes from. If I use my example above the message is

Matrix index is out of range for deletion.

Tested on Matlab R2010b. Maybe we use different versions or the problem is different ...
