How to remove XTick labels without removing XGrid lines?

Hello
Is it possible to remove the XTick labels in a figure without also removing the XGrid lines? Thereby having a figure with only YTicks labels but with both X- and YGrid lines?

Hi, one way:
plot(randn(100,1));
grid on;
set(gca,'xticklabel',{[]})

Actually, in deference to Daniel, I didn't need to put the empty brackets inside a cell array. set(gca,'xticklabel',[]) works just fine. Sometimes my fingers are detached from my brain. The braces look more artsy, but not needed :)

Hi Morten, complementing the answer given by Wayne, you can choose which grid is with tick and which not by editing these one by one:
set(gca,'xticklabel',{'' [10 20] ''})
The result is two empty ticks (also two ticks with 10 and 20) with grids.
Best regards!
