Setting limits using If statements

Consider a random matrix:

A=[1.8 2.6 3.4 4.0 7.2] 
  [0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1]

I want to write a code that scans through A and does something if some conditions against parameters P1 and P2 are satisfied. Could somebody help me convert my pseudo code into a MATLAB script.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Pseudocode
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P1=3.5;
P2=0.39;
for i=1 : (number of rows)

     if an element A(i,:) is greater than or equal to P1
       store all the elements from A(i,:) that come before P1;
     but if an element A(i,:) is less than or equal to P2
       store all the elements from A(i,:) that comes before P2;

     end if

end for
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected Output:
StoredElements = [ 1.8 2.6 3.4 ]
                 [ 0.5 0.4     ]

This is pretty simple...you need not to run a loop. Read about find. http://in.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/find.html.

Also you can use the logical indexing. Ex..to get all the values in A which are less then or equal to p1..use

store  =  A(A(<=p1)

Thanks. It works if I write

store = A(A<P1)

but this will give me all the values in A that satiesfies the condition. What I want is to check it per row such that I tried writing my code this way:

store =A(1,:)(A(1,:)<P1)

But what I am getting is an error: Error: ()-indexing must appear last in an index expression.

To run that in first row use:

A(1,A(1,:)<=P1)
