Replace some values of a vector with another vector which has a different size

Hello
I've got the vector: source = [ 0 0 1 0 1]
and the vector a = [2 3],
which has a different size to source.
I'd like to replace in the source vector the elements that are equal to 1, with those of vector a.
The final vector b should be: b = [0 0 2 0 3]
Any thoughts on this?
Thank you!

b=zeros(size(source));
b(find(source))=a;
of course this works only if the number of nonzero elements in source are the same as the elements in a.
This can be achieved very simply using basic logical indexing:
>> A = [ 0 0 1 0 1];
>> B = [ 2 3];
>> A(A==1) = B
A = 0 0 2 0 3
On my computer this was almost twice as fast compared to using find and zeros.

Hey Stephen,
Are you sure you haven't omitted anything, because this cannot work..
Stephen switched nomenclature. His starting "A" is your "source" his "B" is your "a", and his resulting "A" is your "b".
