Find the average of each row, ignore the first column

This is pretty straight foward, probaly something small I'm missing but as the title says, mean of each row starting at element 2. I'm getting a 3 by 1 array when i should be getting a 4 by 1 sized array. So whats wrong with my code?
load C.dat
A = C(:,2:end);
Cave= mean(A)';

Let me make up a matrix C
C = (1:4)+[1;2;3;4]*10
By default, mean operates along the first dimension, so this
A = C(:,2:end);
Cave= mean(A)'
is taking the mean of each column of A, i.e., the mean of columns 2 through 4 of C. I imagine you intended to do this
A = C(:,2:end);
Cave= mean(A')'
But a more direct way is to specify the dimension along which mean should operate. In this case, dimension 2 to operate along the rows
Cave = mean(C(:,2:end),2)
