ismember for many datasets

Hi,
I have many vectors sorted: A1,A2,.....A7
is it possible to know in one function which number is common between all of them for the first 10 rows? or do I need to use ismember between each individual pairs of vectors? or is there an easy way to do it?

As we are told that these are vectors, and as rows are referred to, the implication is that they are column vectors. I rely on that in this code. I do not, however, rely upon the vectors being the same length (the code could possibly be shorter if they were)
intersect(A1(1:10), intersect(A2(1:10), intersect(A3(1:10), intersect(A4(1:10), intersect(A5(1:10), intersect(A6(1:10), A7(1:10)))))))

This is a question for Cody :-)
Please check whether this one-liner does the job. I don't think there is the single function that does it.
The values must be integers, e.g. floating point integers. I cheated a bit by concatenating the column vectors to a matrix.
A = randi( 5, [ 30, 7 ] );
unique( A( arrayfun( @(k) (all(any(k==A(1:10,2:7)))), A(1:10,1)), 1 ) )

This appears to imply that the vectors all be the same length, which is not necessarily the case. On the other hand, only the first 10 rows are to be considered so one could logically concatenate just that part together.
