The expression (class == 1) returns a vector of logical values, in  
your case [ 1 1 1 0 0 1 ].  You can use this as a mask in the same  
way you use your idx1, i.e.

idx = (class == 1);
class(idx), # this displays all ones
class(!idx), # this doesn't display any ones

I think this is cleaner than using two calls to find, but I don't  
know what you're trying to do, either.
