Making a 3d array with an index that unifies all three layers

I am trying to make a 3d array what has one unified index, the first layer of the matrix will just be a number index, the second layer will be a 1 or a 0 (predefined when the matrix is generated) the third layer will be a random character.

so basically I am trying to figure out how to get an index that lets me reference all three pieces of info in one place.

Thanks in advance for any advice or direction.

[James Tursa]

x = your 3d array
k = your index
result = x(k,k,:); % the three pieces of info at index k

or, depending on how you want to use this downstream

result = squeeze(x(k,k,:)); % the three pieces of info at index k
