identifying and isolating consecutive numbers

32 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a vector, for example, A= [1 2 3 4 14 15 23 24 25 ]
and I want a code that will identify regions of consecutive numbers and separate them into their own array. ie, a code that will split A into
B = [1 2 3 4] C = [14 15] D = [23 24 25]
I would like this code to be able to work on a matrix A of variable length. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

A(end+1) = 2 % Add a new isolating point end
I_1 = find(D ~= 1); % Find indexes of isolating points
[m,n] = size(I_1);
Start_Idx = 1 ; % Set start index
for i = 1:n
End_Idx = I_1(i); % Set end index
Sequ = A(Start_Idx:End_Idx) % Find consecuative sequences
Start_Idx = End_Idx + 1;
% update start index for the next consecuitive sequence
end

I was trying to use this snipet for the same application. I have been testing it with various arrays that contain consecutive sequences. I am having an issue with actually finding the correct set of sequences.
When A = ...
A= [2 4 5 7 8 9 10 -3 -2 -1 0 20] % your array of values
The desired seq cell array should contian:
{[4 5], [7 8 9 10], [-3 -2 -1 0]}
While these sets do appear in the seq cell array, it is also accounting for the first and last value even though they are not apart of a sequence of consecutive values.
seq =
1×5 cell array
{[2]} {1×2 double} {1×4 double} {1×4 double} {[20]}

The splits should occur at places where diff(A) has 1's . (You can find the runs of 1's by looking at diff(diff(A)).
Once you know the length of each piece, you can use mat2cell() to break up the vector into cell arrays. (Writing to individual variables is not a good practice for something like this.)

Use regexp to do this, something like ( but not exactly):
[B] = regexp(A,'[1-4]','match')
repeat for C and D replacing [1-4] with the number ranges you want to isolate...this might work...not sure.

By the way this is the cheap inefficient way to get this done...I am sure you can create a loop to do so for you.

regexp is a cheap and efficient way of locating patterns in strings. It does not apply to numbers.
A loop is the most inefficient way of dealing with the problem.

Here is a simple sequence that gives the adjacent integers without the non-adjacent ones:
Strat with k = [ 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 12 13 140],
>> k = [ 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 12 13 140],
k =
1 2 3 4 7 8 9 12 13 140
>> i = find(diff(k) == 1),
i =
1 2 3 5 6 8
>> all = unique(sort([k(i),k(i)+1]))
all =
1 2 3 4 7 8 9 12 13
And you have all adjacent integer groups united in ascending order.
Sorting the last output into individual adjacent integer groups now is another problem.

I know this is a very late answer but wasn't sure how to implement the answer by Maziyar because it uses a variable 'D' that is not defined anywhere. I ended up writing my own and it turned out well so I thought I'd share it.
A= [1 2 3 4 14 15 23 24 25 ]
assert(size(A,1)==1 && isa(A,'double'));
p=find(diff(A)>1);
ind=[A(1),A(p+1);A(p),A(end)];
% ind =
% 1 14 23
% 4 15 25
It takes in a vector A that would have a series of sequential numbers and returns a matrix where the top rop is the start of each sequence and the bottom row is the end of each sequence.

I am getting this error:
Operands to the logical AND (&&) and OR (||) operators must be convertible to
logical scalar values. Use the ANY or ALL functions to reduce operands to logical
scalar values.
Any suggestions please?

What's the data you are passing in. Can you please share what is causing the issue?
