Hi everyone,
   If I have a matrix of the form
x=[44 378 45 46 47 379 48 390 391 392 52 53 54 400 401];
I want to reduce the matrixsch that no set of adjacent elements are consecutive in which case only the first number is considered i.e, the resulting output is
y=[44 378 45 379 48 390 52 400];
Pls help. Thanx in advance.

one of the many solutions

     v=[44 378 45 46 47 379 48 390 391 392 52 53 54 400 401];
     r=v([true,diff(v)~=1])
%    r = 44   378    45   379    48   390    52   400
