Plotting two columns from matrix.

I am trying to plot Column 4 against Column 10 as a line plot, but only when Columns 8 and 9 are between 0 +/- 0.0005. (Columns 8, 9, 10 are x, y, and z locations).
I would have done this with two if loops which would print the row if the conditions were met. This could have then been plotted. I feel as there are over 400,000 entries this is inefficient (file attached represents a smaller quantity due to size constraints). Prealloaction is not possible as I don't know the size of the final array. What would the best way to go about this?

In the cases where the conditions are not met, what do you want to do? Are you wanting to do a scatter plot? Are you wanting to plot a disconnected line segment for each consecutive area where the conditions are met? Are you wanting to create a single line plot as if the entries that do not met the condition were not present at all ?
I do not want to use the data at all where the conditions mentioned above is not met.
A scatter plot with a line of best fit will be plotted (Column4 vs Column10).

See Indexing with Logical Values half way down the page
A starter
%%
M = dlmread('matrix.txt');
%%
is_show = abs(M(:,8))<5e-4 & abs(M(:,9))<5e-4;
%%
figure
plot( M(is_show,10), M(is_show,4), '.' )

Very useful, reminds me logic plays an important role in coding rather than if and for loops. Thanks.

What would be the best way to plot Column4 if:
is_show = abs(M(:,10))<5e-4
I am trying to plot M(is_show,4) against its respective x and y coordinate locations M(is_show,8) and M(is_show,9), similar to a filled 2D contour plot. I have tried scatter too with no avail. Any suggestions on plot type will be useful.
x = M(is_show,8);
y = M(is_show,9);
z = M(is_show,4);
Finterp = scatteredInterpolant(x, y, z);
xmin = min(M(:,8));
xmax = max(M(:,8));
ymin = min(M(:,9));
ymax = max(M(:,9));
N = 500;
xrange = linspace(xmin, xmax, N);
yrange = linspace(ymin, ymax, N);
[XGrid, YGrid] = meshgrid(xrange, yrange);
ZGrid = Finterp(XGrid, YGrid);
contourf(XGrid, YGrid, ZGrid);
xlabel('M 8');
ylabel('M 9');
zlabel('M 4');
I will take a look into this and the code deeper when Im back in the office.
Thanks
