Select sample from an array

Hello

I have an array of 200x259 samples. I need to make a new array of all the rows but for column i have to reject 3 samples in the following order:

Reject sample 1, 6 and 7..

Reject sample 8, 13 and 14

Reject 15, 20, 21 and so on until

reject 253, 258 and 259

x= ones(200x259)

X1=x(:, [2:5 9:12 16:19 23:26 30:33 37:40......)

How can i do this in decent way.?

Maybe this:

ints = [2:7:259 3:7:259 4:7:259 5:7:259];
srtints = sort(ints);
X1 = x(:,srtints);
