MATLAB: How to read only 1 value in row 2, column 1

csvread

I just want to read one value in my csv file.

For example:

filename = 'csvlist.dat';
M = csvread(filename)

result is

M =
     2     4     6     8
     3     6     9    12
     5    10    15    20
     7    14    21    28

Example 2:

     M = csvread('csvlist.dat',1,0,[1,0,2,2])

Result:

     M =
     3     6     9
     5    10    15

If, I want to read only value "4" which is located in row 1, columm 2, how can I do that?

Is there any function beside "csvread"?

Thanks

you mean export data to text file

 m=[1 2 3 4 5 6 6 6 7 8 9]
 fid = fopen('data.txt', 'w');
 fprintf(fid, '%d', m); 
 fclose(fid);

works fine

 dlmwrite('file.txt',m,'delimiter',' ')

checkerboard that takes as input two positive integer scalars

Yours is taking a matrix, A, it should take in n, m and not have to calculate them
