Finding elements of an arrays having specified index numbers

If I select a number of elements from an M X N array (which usually follow a pattern) I need to assign the indices of these elements into an nX2 array where the columns 1 and 2 are the row and column numbers of these elements. then I would like to find elements of another M X N array having these index numbers. As an example, I have already marked the red elements in the 17X14 array shown below and now I want to find the elements of another 17 X 14 array having exactly these numbers. How can I do this?

Given you return the indices in vectors ix and iy, then

V=A(sub2ind(size(A),ix,iy));

where A is the other array and V will be the vector of returned values from those locations. Note, V is a vector, not an array.
