How to delete a row from a Financial Time Series?

Hi,

This seems like such a simple action, but I can't find an answer. How do I delete rows from a fints object?

With a matrix I just use: mat1(3:4,:)=[];

But, that doesn't work with fints. I suppose one could do this with the data table app, but I need a command line option.

Thanks in advance!

Can you give a short example?

tsobjkt = tsobjkt([1 3:end]); % Just overwrite it with second obs removed

This works here, delete rows 2 from 4:

A = [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9; 2 4 6; 1 3 5];
A(2:4,:)=[]

When using your code, do you get any error message?

For example:

% example of fints issue data=[1:6]'; dates=[today:today+5]'; tsobjkt=fints(dates,data);

tsobjkt(2) ans =

    desc:  (none)
    freq:  Unknown (0)

    'dates:  (1)'    'series1:  (1)'
    '04-Mar-2015'    [            2]

tsobjkt(2)=[]

Matlab says: Error using fints/subsasgn (line 239) The right hand side data has either too many columns or not enough columns compared to data replaced on left hand side.
