Skip lines in an array -sorry

So I guess my real question isn't about for loops, but about passing in rows of data from an array of data into an array of zeros. If I have

       zero_array(min:max,:)=data_array(???)

 is there a way to skip every fourth row in five when passing the data into the new array?

I'll be more precise next time. Promise.

You can use logical indexing. e.g.,

[x y] = size(zero_array);
z = true(1,x);
z(4:5:end) = false;
zero_array(z,:) = data_array(etc.);
