If I read the documentation correctly I think it does:
..........
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/fr ead.html#482088
When skip is specified, fread reads in, at most, a repetition factor number
of values (default is 1), skips the amount of input specified by the skip
argument, reads in another block of values, again skips input, and so on,
until count number of values have been read. If a skip argument is not
specified, the repetition factor is ignored. Use the repetition factor with
the skip argument to extract data in noncontiguous fields from fixed-length
records.
..........
A generic looping operation would still be a nice way of treating similar
problems. --Wayne
