storing only part of the output of a function with multiple outputs

Suppose you have a function with many outputs, e.g.,

[C,ia] = setdiff(A,B)

I am only interested in ia and not C. Is there some way of only calling on ia without storing C? Thank you very much!

Use the tilde ‘~’ to suppress outputs you don’t need.

In this instance:

[~,ia] = setdiff(A,B)

Dear Star Strider, Thank you so much; works like a charm!
