i have a long vector which has a whole bunch of 1s and 2s.. I need to find how many such strings of 1s and 2s are there. Is there a slick way of getting this out of the array?

If you want to find the number of runs (regardless of their length) as opposed to the count of 1s or 2s:
v = [0 3 1 1 1 4 5 6 2 2 2 1 1 2 7 8 9 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 10 11 2 2 12 2]; %demo data
runcount = @(v, n) nnz(diff([false, v == n]) == 1); %works only for row vectors
runsof1 = runcount(v, 1)
runsof2 = runcount(v, 2)
