How can extract only real values of a matrix

After some oprations i have got a matrix which contains imaginary value also. But i need only the

matrix containing real values. How can i remove imaginary values from that matrix? For eg.

A=[18.0000;-3.8090 + 4.3920i;-2.6910 + 1.4001i;-2.6910 - 1.4001i;-3.8090 - 4.3920i]

But my output contains only real values

A=[18.000;-3.8090;-2.6910;-2.6910;-3.8090]

Please help
