MATLAB: Putting Consecutive numbers into variables

consecutive numbers

I data in this format a=[1;2;3;7;0;6;7;8;9;2;4;3;14;15;16;17;0;9;2];
what I need to accomplish is to put consecutive numbers into different variables…
in this case the expected outcome is a1=[1;2;3]; a2=[6;7;8;9]; a3=[14;15;16;17]; How do I

>> A = [1;2;3;7;0;6;7;8;9;2;4;3;14;15;16;17;0;9;2];
>> D = diff([false;diff(A(:))==1;false]);
>> F = @(b,e)A(b:e);
>> C = arrayfun(F,find(D>0),find(D<0),'UniformOutput',false);
>> C{:}

You can access the data in the cell array C using basic indexing:
