Farid,
Number of channels (signals?) is specified in line 124:
hdr.ns = str2double(fread(fid,4,'*char')');

In subsequent lines (125,128,132,...) the files reads 1:hdr.ns. If you wanted to, you could modify those calls to read (for example) signals [1,3,5,6,7] by changing instances of

for ii = 1:hdr

to

for ii = [1,3,5:7]

HTH,

Hisham, Would you either try to download the function again and re-try to read the file, or send me the file you downloaded. I'd like to understand what's going on.
Thanks,
Brett

Farid, I thought that's what I did. Perhaps if my response is unclear, or if I misunderstood your question, you can email me with a better explanation of what you would like to do with EDFREAD.
Cheers,
Brett

@Oleksandr (and Ibraheem):
Thanks for the reviews/comments. My goal in writing this was to facilitate using MATLAB to analyze data stored in EDF format.

I encourage you to share your EDFWrite function, if you write one; creating that capability is a bit outside of my job description. ;)

I'm curious, though: what is your rationale for exporting to EDF after you've brought data in to MATLAB for analysis? Is there something you need to do with them that you can't do with MathWorks' tools? (Or did you just want to share with non-MATLAB users?)
