Hand ranking with pattern recognition

I have the data in this format.

The attributes have following meaning:

COL 1) S1 "Suit of card #1" Ordinal (1-4) representing {Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs}

COL 2) C1 "Rank of card #1" Numerical (1-13) representing (Ace, 2, 3, ... , Queen, King)

COL 3) S2 "Suit of card #2" Ordinal (1-4) representing {Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs}

COL 4) C2 "Rank of card #2" Numerical (1-13) representing (Ace, 2, 3, ... , Queen, King)

COL 5) S3 "Suit of card #3" Ordinal (1-4) representing {Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs}

COL 6) C3 "Rank of card #3" Numerical (1-13) representing (Ace, 2, 3, ... , Queen, King)

COL 7) S4 "Suit of card #4" Ordinal (1-4) representing {Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs}

COL 8) C4 "Rank of card #4" Numerical (1-13) representing (Ace, 2, 3, ... , Queen, King)

COL 9) S5 "Suit of card #5" Ordinal (1-4) representing {Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs}

COL 10) C5 "Rank of card 5" Numerical (1-13) representing (Ace, 2, 3, ... , Queen, King)

COL 11) CLASS "Poker Hand" Ordinal (0-9)

0: Nothing in hand; not a recognized poker hand 1: One pair; one pair of equal ranks within five cards 2: Two pairs; two pairs of equal ranks within five cards 3: Three of a kind; three equal ranks within five cards 4: Straight; five cards, sequentially ranked with no gaps 5: Flush; five cards with the same suit 6: Full house; pair + different rank three of a kind 7: Four of a kind; four equal ranks within five cards 8: Straight flush; straight + flush 9: Royal flush; {Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten} + flush

I want to train a nn to sort hands based on their Rank.So I split this matrix into two matrices, one with the first 10 columns and the second with just the ranks ( Column 11).

When I now want to train my nn I cant select the second matrix as my target

:) Thank you

To get the last column of your matrix you can use end:

pokerRank = yourData(:, end);

Beyond that I don't know what you want. Define "targets". And what is UCI (University of California at Irvine?). What is an instance (a row that indicates a particular hand that was dealt???) and what is an attribute (a column that has some special meaning?) And you might read this so we can help you better.

I updated my Question. Hope its more clear now :)
