How to create vector after import data from .xls using for loops?

First I using command xlsread to import some data from excel and got vector row (or column it's never mind), then I try to create new matrix using for loops and if command, but I have problem, because I don't know how to do that... :)

 Example: I import this

x=[1 5 3 7 10 10 10 15 4 8 3 5 11 19 10 10 10]

 I want to create something like this:

a=[1 5 3 7] and b=[15 4 8 3 5 11 19]

,and new x=[mean(a) mean(b)]

It's necessary to use loops because every excel file that I import have different number of cell, for example: data from new excel is

x1=[1 2 3 10 10 10 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 10 10 10]

That the reason why I need block of code. Number 10 that is repeated is area that separate group of number, and I wanna to use that condition to create new vectors.

Thanks for your help.

Can there be more than a and b? In other words, could you need to split x into n arrays?

[Bojan]

Yes it can. My need function to split x into n arrays. Where number 10 is zone between segments.

[Bojan]

Yes, I use number 10 for example. This is the imported vector from .xls file:

x1 =
  2.7523
  5.5061
  5.5171
  5.5226
  2.1736
100.0000
100.0000
100.0000

Thank everyone for trying to help me, but I find solution by my self. Maybe is little complicated, but it works, and that is most important... :)

I use "xlsread" command to import data from excel and I get matrix x1, then I use for loop to get my new matrix x2.

Code:

    x2=zeros(13,7);

% caunters

m=1; n=1; t=1;

for k=m:length(x1)
    if x1(k,:)~=100
        x2(t,n)=x1(k,1);
        t=t+1;
    else if (x1(k,:)==100 && (x1(k+1,:)==100 && x1(k+2,:)==100))
            m=k+3;
            n=n+1;
            t=1;
            continue
        end
    end
end

This is trivial if you have the Image Processing Toolbox - it's one line:

segments = regionprops(x1~=10, x1, 'PixelList', 'MeanIntensity'); % Get all your a's, b's, etc.

The above line will get you all the segments (all their values into individual arrays), and the mean values of all the arrays.

Question - is it always 10 that is the "dividing" zone between segments? Or is it any number that repeats?

[Bojan]

Yes, I use number 10 for example. This is the imported vector from .xls file:

x1 =
  2.7523
  5.5061
  5.5171
  5.5226
  2.1736
100.0000

Why are your dividing numbers all over the place? Can't you get them to be consistent? Why 10 one time and 100 another time. And what about that zero in there? Is that a divider or is that part of the data? Regardless, the code I gave you will work once you find out what the number that divides/separates sections is.

[Bojan]

I don't understand your question, how you mean "all over the place"? Forget number 10, I was using that for example. The real vector is with dividend 100, and 0 is part of the data. Now I wont to use vector x1 (with dividend 100) to create vector that content frst group of data (vector a). Then second vector (vector b) with data between dividend 100, and so on until the end. In a previous comment I placed a vector x1 that I imported from Excel, and now me need the vectors a and b ... and so on until the end. Thanks for helping me.

[Image Analyst]

By all over the place I meant that the 10 or 100 or whatever can appear in stretches of any length in any position. It's not like you can just assume that each stretch of 100 occurs every 6th element throughout the array. If it did occur with such predictable periodicity you can just use normal, good old indexing to extract out the subarrays. However since your 100's occur at elements 6, 15, 27, etc. in random locations, that's what requires you to use regionprops which can handle that kind of data. The code is the same as I first gave you:

separationNumber = 100; % or 10 or whatever you want.
segments = regionprops(x1 ~= separationNumber , x1, 'PixelList', 'MeanIntensity');
