lookback function? or instlookback? |

Hi,
Is there a lookback function for Octave? I found instlookback for matlab
but don't find anything similar in octave. (i should admit that i haven't
finished figuring out exactly what instlookback does yet -- but i'll use
octave over matlab if i can...)
Here is what I want to do:
-Take two specific vectors of data, say I and J
-Start two counters at the first element. One increments by one every row
(until reset) and the other increments by 1 when either
--there is a non-zero difference between the current non-zero
value of I and the most recent previous non-zero value of I
or
--the same is true for J
The other challenge is that both I and J change their non-zero values at
the same time, but because only I or J is non-zero in a given row, I also
have to figure out how to tell the counters to reset & increment for the
first of those two changes but not for the second.
So the way I am imagining this, the two counters depend on some type of
look back or look forward function.
Does that sound like anything familiar, or easily implementable?
