Hi Nils,
Let X be the matrix to change, and c a comparison constant.
Let U be a matrix such that you want to change
X(i,j) to U(i,j) if X(i,j) < c, otherwise X(i,j) is unchanged.

C = (X < c);
Y = (1-C).*X + C.*U;

You can also do

Y(C) = U(C);

provided you have set do_fortran_indexing="true", but the first method
always works (or should).

If you have trouble with this, get back to me.

best wishes,
Ted.                                    (address@hidden)
