Index slice of ND array of unknown dimension

If you do not know the size of the array before hand then you can call subsasgn directly. The function subsasgn is the actual function that MATLAB calls whenever you assign to an array using the indexing convenience operators () or {}, e.g. X(1) = 2, in just the same way that 1+2 is just a convenience operator for plus(1,2). We can also call subasgn directly, just like we could call plus if we so wished.

Here is a simple example of removing one row of A without hard-coding how many dimensions it has:

>> A = rand(5,4,3,2);
>> S.subs = repmat({':'},1,ndims(A));
>> S.subs{1} = 3; % the third row
>> S.type = '()';
>> B = subsasgn(A,S,[]);
>> size(B)
ans =
     4     4     3     2

It looks like this has changed in more recent updates: I had been using this technique, but it failed when using it on a gpuArray. The included code below now works for gpuArrays and normal arrays:

A = gpuArray.rand(5,4,3,2);
v = repmat({':'},ndims(A),1); 
v{1} = 3; % Do the third row
B = A;
B(v{:}) = []; % Note, you can replace this with a numeric to substitite instead of delete
size(B)
