How to Reshape a matrix

Hello and a nice day to all,

i have a simple question about matrices.

i have a matrix with the dimention 3-by-5:

a = [50,2,3,5,2; 35,3,2,1,3; 27,3,2,1,1]

how do i make it a column only matrix of 1-by-15 like this;

b = [50,2,3,5,2,35,3,2,1,3,27,3,2,1,1]

i've used a(:) but the the order is not what i wanted. I want it exactly to be in the same order as in matrix 'b' above. Is there a function or a simple way to do this ? thanks in advance...

use

 b=reshape(a',1,[])

Thanks for the reply. But the order is not the way i want it. using b= reshape(a,1,[]) produces the following;

b = [50,35,27,2,3,3,3,2,2,5,1,1,2,3,1]

but i want it to be exactly like the following;

b = [50,2,3,5,2,35,3,2,1,3,27,3,2,1,1]

can this be done ?

You missed the transpose...

The apostrophe ' is important.

Notice the transpose on the a .. it is a'

 reshape(a',1,[])

which gives

 b = [50,2,3,5,2,35,3,2,1,3,27,3,2,1,1]
