Indexing into a m x n array to find values using an array of row and column indices

I have a cell array A. and marrix B

A = [2,4,0.5,0.34;0.01,4,0.5,0.34;10,4,0.2,0.6;10,4,0.2,0.6;19,15,0.7,0.6]
B = [1,1;1,2;2,4;2,3;3,4;3,3;4,1;4,2;5,2;5,3]

I am trying to use the indices in matrix B, to index into Matrix A and return the values

C =
2        4
0.34     0.5
0.6      0.2
10       4
15       0.7

I then wish to add the values across columns and return a vector D

D =
6
0.54
0.8
14
15.7

i then wish to take each row element in C and divide it by its row total in D, and return the values in a matrix E

E =
2./6        4./6

0.34./0.54  0.5/0.54

0.6./0.8    0.2./0.8   ETC ETC

I have made a start but clear a look is the worng thing to do here in order to extract the values from A using the indcies in B. All help appreciated. Would cellfun work?

rowcolidx = B
rowcolidx=zeros(1,size(B,1));
for i = 1:size(B(1:end,:),1)  
        temp = A(rowcolidx(i,1),rowcolidx(i,2));
        ReturnsVal = temp;
end

Note: Your D seems to be wrong 0.34+0.5 == 0.84 not .54.

According to the example what you posted A and B are not cell array if it so then use cell2mat() and follow the following:

C = reshape(A(sub2ind(size(A),B(:,1),B(:,2))).',2,[]).';
D = sum(C,2);
E = C./D;

Thank you for this I am tryignt o figute out what reshpe and sub2idx do. I seem to get one long row vector whn i execute this line. I am reviwing now and looking a tthe matlab explanaition
