https://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2108586-how-to-extract-data-from-a-3d-array
Answered: Dyuman Joshi about 12 hours ago
I have a large (500x5x79039) 3D array, which is mostly filled with zeros. Now I want to extract the slices with content into a smaller array and save them. I’ve already tried the solution from this Article, but then I get the same page repeated multiple times, resulting in too many entries and duplicates.
Ideally, I would like to extract the pages exactly as they were saved, provided there is data on those pages.

so a slice is a 2d matrix for me, into which direction do you want to slice? if i understood correctly, you only want those 2d slices, in whch at least one entry is not zero?

Jonas inquired about the direction of indexing. In other words, you can get
a) a n x 5 x 79039 array with n < 500
b) a 500 x n x 79039 array with n < 5
c) a 500 x 5 x n array with n < 79039
Each can be done, but it would be great to know which of the three you are looking for.

Sorry, my bad. I'm looking for c). The Data I'm looking for should be displayed as 500 x 5 x n, like the pages in my existing array.

Use logical indexing -
%Sample data
p = 5;
q = 6;
r = 4;
y = rand(p,q,r)-1;
y(:, :, [2 r+1]) = zeros(p,q,2)
y =
y(:,:,1) = -0.7285 -0.6881 -0.6747 -0.3796 -0.1672 -0.6574 -0.9762 -0.6068 -0.9793 -0.0795 -0.9972 -0.5266 -0.7477 -0.1073 -0.9397 -0.5630 -0.9243 -0.7642 -0.2448 -0.1465 -0.7908 -0.8282 -0.3473 -0.0134 -0.3137 -0.4403 -0.8926 -0.5689 -0.2770 -0.4045y(:,:,2) = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0y(:,:,3) = -0.0481 -0.3703 -0.8937 -0.2620 -0.6424 -0.1590 -0.3590 -0.7458 -0.8042 -0.6762 -0.5639 -0.4337 -0.4247 -0.3759 -0.6399 -0.7271 -0.9687 -0.0107 -0.3895 -0.5470 -0.2762 -0.8224 -0.4897 -0.7164 -0.5377 -0.7156 -0.8387 -0.6348 -0.3393 -0.1025y(:,:,4) = -0.7409 -0.3158 -0.9468 -0.7263 -0.4370 -0.7029 -0.3200 -0.8704 -0.2631 -0.8824 -0.4113 -0.4293 -0.5657 -0.7926 -0.9319 -0.6440 -0.1914 -0.1186 -0.0940 -0.8801 -0.3449 -0.3131 -0.0717 -0.8211 -0.6848 -0.8336 -0.2107 -0.4389 -0.7302 -0.3056y(:,:,5) = 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
