The easiest way to do this is to use randperm: this provides a random selection without replacement. Note that randi uses replacement, so is not useful for your task.
Something like this:
>> A = 1:23;
>> excl = 4; % indices to exclude
>> B = A(~ismember(1:numel(A),excl));
>> idx = randperm(numel(B));
Where B contains all values of A except the elements at locations given in excl, and idx contains random indices without replacement for every element in B. Thus you can easily use these indices in a loop:
for k = 1:numel(B)
B(idx(k))
end
