How to remove rows having repeating elements from a matrix?
Show older comments
If I have a matrix A=[ 1 2 1 4; 1 2 3 4; 3 2 1 4; 3 3 2 1] then I want a matrix as B=[ 1 2 3 4; 3 2 1 4] so that both the 1st and 4th row will be deleted as they have repeated elements. pls help me to find out the code.

The below method is not elegant but it works.
A=[ 1 2 1 4; 1 2 3 4; 3 2 1 4; 3 3 2 1];
index = zeros(1,size(A,1));
for i = 1:size(A,1)
if numel(unique(A(i,:))) == numel(A(i,:))
index(i)=1;
end
end
index = logical(index);
B = A(index,:);
Kind regards,
Baltam

The second version shown here while not as elegant works better if you have a large matrix and are using parallel processing. I'm not an expert by any means but the second version did not overload my machine like the first one did.
