find minimum non-zero

[Octave - General mailing list]

hi, look that:
a=
 1   0   0   8   7   0   0   2
 0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
 2   0   0   6   0   0   1   0

i want find vector with minimun non-zero


and: 1 (minimun non-zero in  rows n.1)
        0 ( don't find minimum non-zero in  rows n.2)
        2 (minimun non-zero  in  rows n.3)

it's possible to code it avoing loop?

Does this work for your problem?

  a = [...
     1   0   0   8   7   0   0   2; ...
     0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0; ...
     2   0   0   6   0   0   1   0];

  a(a == 0) = inf;
  b = min (a, [], 2);
  b(isinf (b)) = 0

I think the answer for the third row should be "1", right?

HTH,
Kai

Sorry
I committed an inaccuracy

i want to find the first number (non zero) in each row


 example:

     1   0   0   8   7   0   0   2
     0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0
     2   0   0   6   0   0   1   0

ans: 1 0 2

another example:

     0   0   0   8   7   0   0   2
     0   0  3   0   0   0   0   0
     5   0   0   6   0   0   1   0

ans: 8 3 5

There are probably several possible solutions. One involves meshgrid, logical indexing and min.
But you should do your homework on your own.
