selcting 3 values from top 10 values

I am working on data mining,I have 1000*1rows and columns ,I want to select 3 values from 100 vales and next 3 from 2ng 100 and next 3 fro 3rd 100,finally i need 30 values (3 from each hundred),can any one tell how to process

Should the elements be chosen randomly? Are repetitions allowed?

Pat, be aware that Nirmal's solution below assume you want the first three values of each set of 100, and Jan's assumes a random three. You might want to be more specific.

Answer 1

[Jan]

Without repetitions:

X = rand(1, 1000);
R = zeros(10, 3);
for i = 1:10
  P       = randperm(100);
  R(i, :) = X(P(1:3) + (i-1)*100);
end

With repetions:

Index = bsxfun(@plus, floor(rand(3, 10)*100), 1:100:1000);
R = x(Index);

Answer 2

[Nirmal Gunaseelan]

A good place to start is Matrix Indexing. One way of achieving this:

result = [];
original = [1:1000];
for itr = 0:100:900
   result = [result original(itr + [1,2,3])];
end

My variant

X = randi(500,1000,1);
[~,IR] = sort(rand(100,10));
R = X(bsxfun(@plus,IR(1:3,:),0:size(IR,2)-1));
