Sorry about the delay, I got busy and forgot about this email.

What I mean is:
rref([4 5 2 0;
2 7 9 0;
8 10 4 0])
results in
[ 1 0 -1.7222 0;
0 1 1.7777 0;
0 0 0 0]
This is an example, where each row starts with a one, that the
colunm that contains a starting one is all zeros save that one, and the
matrix is an upper triangular matrix.
Your method is close to what I am looking for but not quite.
Hopefully this will make clearer what I am looking for.
