MATLAB: Selecting non-zero elements from a symbolic vector

nonzerosymbolic

Given a symbolic vector, say [a*b, 0 , a^2*b*c, 1, 0]. How could I obtain a vector from the non-zero entries, I would like for the given example to have [a*b, a^2*b*c, 1] as a result. I tried nonzeros but this does not work for type sym.

This works for me (in R2015a):
syms a b c 
V = [a*b, 0 , a^2*b*c, 1, 0];
Vnz = V(V~=0)
Vnz =
[ a*b, a^2*b*c, 1]
