Set vector equal to row of matrix matlab

Question

I'm new to matlab and would like to create a new vector equal to a row of an nxn matrix that I already have. I know how to do it with loops but is there a command? Something like

vector1=matrix1(row5)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yep this is easy, the syntax is:

row5Vector = matrix1(5,:);

Also to grab a column you could:

col5Vector = matrix1(:,5);
