I want to remove zeroes from an array. The array has exactly one zero per row. For example:

a = [1 4 0 3; 0 1 5 5; 1 0 8 1; 5 4 4 0; 0 1 5 2]
Should be turned into

a = [1 4 3; 1 5 5; 1 8 1; 5 4 4; 1 5 2]
I have tried using the command

a(a==0) = [];
However, this turns the 2000x50 array into an 1x98000 array instead of an 2000x49 array like I want it. Any
ideas?

If we do not know how much of the elements to submit after we remove the zero elements.
a = [is a big matrix]
v = nonzeros(a');
newmat = reshape(v,?,?)'
Any ideas?

I have been working on this problme for the some time now,
so far the solution that i have reached works better if you know for certain that the number of
zeros in each row is the same, if not, then it must be converted to a cell class.

a=matrix %a big matrix with unknown number of zeroes

[sz1,sz2]=size(a);
new_sz2=zeros(1,sz1) %This array will hold the size of each row after removing zeros
for i=1:sz1
new_mat{i}= nonzeros(a(i,:));
new_row_sz(i)=size(new_mat{i},1)
end
if range(new_row_sz) == 0
new_mat=cell2mat(new_mat);
end
