MATLAB: How to match and eliminate those values?

z1 = codes(find(codes~=s))
I am trying to match the values of s and codes. theoritically the values present in s matches with row 2 from codes I want to eliminate that row and consider the other rows but z1 is giving me 
z1 =
     0
     1

i am not able to understand this. Kindly help me

"i am not able to understand this"
Your code:
find(codes~=s))
first creates a logical array with the same size as codes, with 1 in every location where the arrays differ (you can see that the second row is all zero, where the data match exactly):
>> codes~=s
ans =
  0  0  1  1  0  0  1  1  1  1  0  0  1  1  0  0
  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0
  0  1  0  1  0  1  0  1  1  0  1  0  1  0  1  0
You then use find to obtain the linear indices of those 1's. From the above matrix it is clear that the linear indices will be [6,7,10,12,...], but this is easy to check using MATLAB too:
>> find(codes~=s)
ans =
    6
    7
   10
   12
   18
   19
   22
   24
   25
   27
   28
   33
   37
   39
   40
   45
You then use these linear indices to select elements from codes, you can check this yourself too:
codes(6)  =  0
codes(7)  =  1
codes(10) =  1
codes(11) =  1
codes(12) =  1
... etc
codes(40) =  0
codes(45) =  1
and that is your output vector. Interesting, but ultimately not very useful for the task you described.

So far two people have advised to use setdiff: why are you not doing this?
Below is a copy of my answer to your earlier question , where I showed you two ways to achieve what you want:
Method one: setdiff:
>> s = [1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0]
s =
   1   1   0   0   0   0   1   1   0   0   1   1   1   1   0   0
>> c = [1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0;1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0;1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0]
c =
   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0
   1   1   0   0   0   0   1   1   0   0   1   1   1   1   0   0
   1   0   0   1   0   1   1   0   1   0   0   1   0   1   1   0
>> z = setdiff(c,s,'rows')
z =
   1   0   0   1   0   1   1   0   1   0   0   1   0   1   1   0
   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0
Note that setdiff can change the order of the rows, unless you use the 'stable' option:
   setdiff(c,s,'stable','rows')
Method two: indexing:
>> x = all(s==c,2);
>> z = c(~x,:)
z =
   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0   1   1   1   1   0   0   0   0
   1   0   0   1   0   1   1   0   1   0   0   1   0   1   1   0
