index multiple columns in cell array

Hi, I am still pretty new to Matlab.

I import data from a txt file into a cell-array (ccc). Now I want to retrieve multiple rows and columns:

e.g. myAnimals.monkeys = cell2mat(cellfun(@(x) str2num(char(x)),ccc(5:59,8:10),'UniformOutput',0));

which works fine.

but how do I retrieve e.g. columns 8 to 10 AND 15-18 at the same time?

many thanks, Robert

Replace 8:10

With

 [8:10, 15:18]
