How can I delete an entire row in a matrix and shift the rest of the matrix below the deleted row up each time I delete??

I want to delete an entire row and shift the remaining matrix below the deleted row up by one, each time I delete a row.

rowToDelete = 42; % or whatever....
yourMatrix(rowToDelete, :) = [];

Hi I tried this, but the program seems to lock up on the 2nd line. I'm a newbie at this. Could you explain what '=[]' does? Thank you for your help!!! Allan

Image Analyst's answer is correct. Maybe you used a zero-based numbering (Matlab is one-based, i.e. first row = index 1 etc)?

This line means "set the entire row to no values", i.e. remove the respective row.

It should not lock up, even if you passes some invalid first index - it should just throw an error. There is something you're not telling us. Please show your lines of code.

Many thanks to both Michael and Image Analyst. Yes, it definitely worked!

 rowToDelete = [42 5 6 7]; % or whatever....
yourMatrix(rowToDelete, :) = [];

should also work...
