How to get rid of the complex part from the result of the inverse Fourier transform of a real-valued signal?

After applying the inverse Fourier transform to real-valued signal I have got , as expected, complex numbers. But, I would like only the real part of the result to form the signal. Could someone give some help in this matter? Many thanks, Massilon.

result = real( ifft( ... ) );

Just taking the real part of your transformed data eliminates half of it. I would use the abs function instead (that uses the real and imaginary parts of your transformed data), if you want only real results.
