Y = exclude(X,indx,rc) takes an input X, which can be eithr an array or 2D matrix.
indx is the index of the row(s) or column(s) or elements to omit from the matrix or array.
rc is used to define whether the rows or columns to be excluded. For row exclusion use: 'row' and for column exlusion use: 'col' or 'column'. If nothing is defined then the default 'col' is set automatically. However, rc will automatically be set to 'col' or 'row' if X is a row or column vector, respectively.

Example 1
x = 1:10
y1 = exclude(x,[1 5])
y2 = exclude(x',5)

Example 2
X = magic(3)
y1 = exclude(X,2,'row')
y2 = exclude(X,2,'col')
