How to set all elements in a 2D Matrix between two indices to "1" in each row

1 view (last 30 days)
I've a matrix A e.g. like this:
A =
1 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0 0 1
0 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 1 0 0
And I want all elements between the "ones" per row to be "one" as well. The result should look like this: B =
1 1 1 1 0 0
0 0 1 1 1 1
0 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 1 1 0 0
If it helps, I also have two vectors with the indices of the first and second one.
Thanks!!
PS: If possible the solution would not use any loops since the real matrix that I have to use is very large and the program shall be very efficient.

cumsum(A,2)==1|A;

cumsum(A,2)>0 & fliplr(cumsum(A(:,end:-1:1),2))>0

you can do it as follow:
for i = 1:size(A, 1)
idx = find(A(i, :));
A(i, min(idx):max(idx)) = 1;
end

Nice, thanks! That helps. But is there a way to avoid the loop? E.g. use a vector that contains all the "idx" or so? Thanks!
