Hello I have matrix A:
A=[2 3 0 0;6 0 2 4;1 2 0 7]
I want to replace nonzero element of this matrix with matrix B respectively. matrix B is:
B=[70;11;111;8;7;22;15;64]
Thank you.

Hi I found it. and write it for others.
fn=find(A~=0)
A(fn)=B

@fatema saba: you do not need to use find, it just makes the code slower and more complicated without any benefit. It is better to use logical indexing, as per Walter Roberson's answer.

A(logical(A)) = B;
or if you prefer
A(A ~= 0) = B;
