trimming numbers

how can I trim numbers in matlab (similar to the left and right functions in excel). For example, if: A=[3829 3620 3714] and i want to get the first two digits: to get B=[38 36 37], how can i do so?

Answer 1

[Oleg Komarov]

A = [3829 36203 371];

% Robust to different 'lengths'

fix(A ./ 10.^(ceil(log10(abs(A)))-2))

Answer 2

[Rick Rosson]

Please try the following:

    B = floor(A/100);

HTH.
