MATLAB: Repeat row of a matrix

repelem

Hi,
I have a 3×1 array, a = [1 2 3]', and B, a 3×2 matrix.
How can I create C, a 6×2 matrix, whose first row is the same as B and repeated once [a(1)], the second row is the second row of B repeated twice [a(2)], and the third row is the third row of B repeated three times [(a(3)]? I'm trying to use the repelem function but am a bit stuck…Do I have to loop to do this, or is there another way?
Any help would be appreciated. Thx in advance,
DB

Here is one way to achieve it. If
 >> a = [1;2;3] ;
 >> B = randi( 10, 3, 2 )
 B =
     3    10
     6     2
    10    10
Then
 >> C = arrayfun( @(k)repelem(B(k,:),a(k),1), 1:numel(a), 'UniformOutput', false ) ;
 >> C = vertcat( C{:} )
 C =
     3    10
     6     2
     6     2
    10    10
    10    10
    10    10
