Return the number of the row that contains the largest value in column vectors

Hi there,

Is there a way in matlab to return the number of a row that contains the largest value?

For example, for the following matrix

0.14  0  0.99  1  0
0.73  0.93  0.02  0  0
0  0  0  0  0.99
0  0  0.01  0  0
0.01  0.05  0.03  0.01  0
0  0.02  0  0  0.02
0.01  0  0.01  0  0

How could you make it return 2 2 1 1 3?

Many thanks John

The second output argument of the max() function will do this:

 [m index] = max(x)

where x is your matrix. Note that by default, max() works down the columns of a matrix. Read "doc max" for more details.

Thanks very much.
