lets say i have a matrix as below:
A =
1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2
3 3 3 9 3
i wan to delete the entire column if there is element with the value of 9 in it and get the matrix B as below:
B =
1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3
i should mention that in reality may matrix size is much greater than this with the size of A(150,32024), so i need to do it in a for loop, or if anyone has any other idea, i really appreciate it.
thank you

so i need to do it in a for loop. The size of the matrix is irrelevant to the method you use for solving your problem. In fact, the bigger the matrix, the more likely that using for loops is the wrong solution.
Star's and dpb answers are going to be a lot more efficient than a loop.

B=A(:,~any(A==9));
If you don't need A any longer, it's just a simple to do it in place...
A(:,any(A==9))=[];
