MATLAB: Finding index of a function

cell arraysindexMATLAB

Hello, I have the following code, When the cell array is created it contains values of AA when the condition is meet. I want to also create a cell array of the index of AA, AA(n) n = 1:length AA.
AA = [ 1 2 3 5 7 10 9 11 13 14 17 19 17 22 25];
data = mat2cell(AA, 1, diff([0 find(diff(AA) < 0) numel(AA)]))
Thanks!

If you want go for a single line solution, this will work:
data = arrayfun(@(x,y)x:y,[1,1+find(diff(AA)<0)],[find(diff(AA)<0),numel(AA)],'UniformOutput',false)
This is compact but hard to read. So you might prefer this solution:
idxNegDiff = [find(diff(AA)<0),numel(AA)];
start = 1;
for idx = 1:length(idxNegDiff)
   c{idx} = start:idxNegDiff(idx);
   start = idxNegDiff(idx)+1;
end
Either way you can verify the result using:
celldisp(c)
