Hi Eamonn,

a(2,:) = [];

Best.

The problem in general is that if you try to remove
more-or-less-randomly placed elements in an array, the array is no
longer square--hence the result above of a vector returned.

You could set elements to zero but to make them null either would
require a cell array or regularizing the elements to be eliminated.
