Correlation coefficent for vectors (of unequal lengths).

Hi,
I have two separate vectors (A and B) which I want to caculate '[r,p] = corrcoef(A,B)' for. They are the same length but both contain 'NaN' so I can't use corrcoef. Both vectors follow a time series so I can't remove the nans separately in each vector as the rows of data will then be out of sequence.
Is there a way of removing an entire row in both A and B if one of them contains a nan on a particular row so that they remain in synch with each other?
If not is there another method I can use?
Thanks

First make some dummy data
A = 1:10;
A(2) = nan;
B = 1:10;
B(4)=nan;
Then combine the arrays into a matrix so it is easy to work with
C = [A; B];
Then only keep columns for which not any of the rows are nan
D = C(:, ~any(isnan(C)))
Finally split the matrix into two new arrays
Aprime = D(1, :);
Bprime = D(2, :);

use isnan() function to skip those rows

the ~isnan(A) function will give you 1s for numbers and 0s for nan elements. by adding the two together (assuming your A and B matrix are exactly the same length), you will get 2s on those rows containing numbers in both A and B. using find() function you would have that index in the number form.
so for example:
A = [ 1 4 7 NaN 8 NaN 3];
B = [NaN 6 4 5 1 NaN 9];
then
idx = find(~isnan(A)+ ~isnan(B)==2)
will give you:
idx = [2 3 5 7];
which is correct. now you can use
corrcoef(A(idx),B(idx)).
