How to read only 1 value in row 2, column 1 ?

I just want to read one value in my csv file.

For example:

filename = 'csvlist.dat';
M = csvread(filename)

result is

M =

     2     4     6     8
     3     6     9    12
     5    10    15    20
     7    14    21    28

Example 2:

     M = csvread('csvlist.dat',1,0,[1,0,2,2])

Result:

     M =

     3     6     9
     5    10    15

If, I want to read only value "4" which is located in row 1, columm 2, how can I do that?

Is there any function beside "csvread"?

Thanks
