I have some square matrices with na values in corresponding rows and
columns.

M<-matrix(1:2,10,10)
M[6,1:2]<-NA
M[10,9]<-NA
M<-as.matrix(as.dist(M))
print (M)

    1  2 3 4 5  6 7 8  9 10
1   0  2 1 2 1 NA 1 2  1  2
2   2  0 1 2 1 NA 1 2  1  2
3   1  1 0 2 1  2 1 2  1  2
4   2  2 2 0 1  2 1 2  1  2
5   1  1 1 1 0  2 1 2  1  2
6  NA NA 2 2 2  0 1 2  1  2
7   1  1 1 1 1  1 0 2  1  2
8   2  2 2 2 2  2 2 0  1  2
9   1  1 1 1 1  1 1 1  0 NA
10  2  2 2 2 2  2 2 2 NA  0


How do I remove just the row/column pair( in this trivial example row 6 and
10 and column 6 and 10) containing the NA values?

so that I end up with all rows/ columns that are not NA - e.g.

  1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9
1 0 2 1 2 1 1 2 1
2 2 0 1 2 1 1 2 1
3 1 1 0 2 1 1 2 1
4 2 2 2 0 1 1 2 1
5 1 1 1 1 0 1 2 1
7 1 1 1 1 1 0 2 1
8 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 1
9 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0


if i use na omit I lose rows 1,2,6, and 9
which is not what I want.

thanks
