Extracting element form a table of data

Hello, Please what command will I use if I want to extract element form table of table data. E.g if I have 5 by 5 matrix element and I need to read 3 by 3 element located in row 3, row 3, row 4 and column 2, column 3, column 4. Please what command can I use to extract these elements. Thanks

If by 'table', you mean an array:

result = myArray( 2:4, 2:4 );

will read, for example, the 2nd to 4th rows and 2nd to 4th columns, giving you a 9-by-9 result array.

If you mean an actual 'table' structure then I am less familiar with that, but

doc table

seems to give various examples of manipulating table data.

If I want to read the first row and last row or first column and last column. That is actually my question Thanks

[Adam]

result = myArray( [1 end], : );
result = myArray( :, [1 end] );

will give you, respectively, the 1st and last row and the first and last column (assuming you want all columns for each row and all rows for each column)
