indexing in for loop

I would like to run a for loop through only variables in certain index positions. Here is my code:

j=1; 
for c=48:73 % this is where the problem is 
    if idx(c)
        continue
    end
    spikes = cellspikes{c};
    spikes = spikes(spikes > startTime & spikes < stopTime);
    if length(spikes) >= 1000
        edgesT = linspace(startTime,stopTime,numel(trackingtimes)+1);
        binnedSpikes = histcounts(spikes,edgesT);
        binnedSpikes = smoothdata(binnedSpikes,2,'gaussian',50);
        pcaBinnedSpikes(j,:) = zscore(binnedSpikes);
        j = j+1;
    end
end

I would like to only access the elements of cellspikes that are in positions 48 - 71, but my current code is not doing that, because it is showing c as having 72 values, when I only want it to have 25 elements.

How could I access and save only the elements of cellspikes that are in index position 48-71?

Thanks!

Can you post the missing datas?

iwant = cellspikes(48:71)

I don't think that will work, because then the values of idx don't line up with the correct values in iwant
