For example: I'd like to extract 4 elements in each column from the matrix above. Extracted elements would be (1,1),(2,1),(3,1),(4,1) for the 1st column, and (1,2),(3,2),(5,1),(7,1) for the 2nd column, and (1,3),(4,3),(7,3),(10,3). Example out is given below:
10 20 30
11 22 33
12 24 36
13 26 39
Note: I have hundreds of rows and columns. So, I need a generic solution.
Thank you.

This is easy using linear indexing (a loop is not required):
>> [M(1:10:end);M(2:11:end);M(3:12:end);M(4:13:end)] ans = 10 20 30 11 22 33 12 24 36 13 26 39
Note that M has 10 rows, so you can easily adjust the code I gave to work for any number of rows:
>> S = size(M,1); >> [M(1:S+0:end);M(2:S+1:end);M(3:S+2:end);M(4:S+3:end)] ans = 10 20 30 11 22 33 12 24 36 13 26 39
Note that this method only works if the number of columns is <= the number of rows.
To adjust for N elements from each column you can add a loop, either following the method above:
N = 4; Y = nan(N,size(M,2)); S = size(M,1); for k = 1:N Y(k,:) = M(k:S+k-1:end); end
or doing a naive implementation of what you explained in your question.
