Thread Subject: fread repetition factor

I am using:
DataValues=fread(fid,'2304*uint8',116);
To read in 2304 bytes, then skip 116 bytes and repeat for the entire file.
Works great.
I'd like to make the 2304 value a variable.
So far I have been unsuccessful, is it possible?

Thanks,

Ralph Page

DataValues=fread(fid,sprintf('%d*uint8',BytesToRead),116);
