Hi,
I am looking for a way to truncate the output of a function in a signle line. I am currently using the following two-lines version :

<code=MATLAB>
       Y = fft(y);
       Y = Y(1:end/2);
</code=MATLAB> 

Any relevant help would be appreciated,

It can be done with subsref, but when you do that in a single line, you 
have to be able to predict the value that end/2 will evaluate to from 
the inputs -- possible in this case because length(Y) will be the same 
as length(y), but not possible in the general case.

If I recall, it can effectively be done in a single line even if you do 
not know the output sizes if you define an auxillary function:

IDX = @(Y,A,B) Y(A:B);

Y = IDX(fft(y), 1, end/2);
