How to extract data from a CSV file with MATLAB?

[Erikve]

I'm sure that this will be a quite simple question, but I will not work for me. I try to read data from a csv-file with matlab(see under post). But is doesn't work... I try to skip the the first 9 ninen lines, because they are useless for the data analyses. I try the following line with matlab:
[data] = textread('data.csv','','delimiter',',','emptyvalue',NaN)

Can somebody help me to change this line? Thanks for every help!

greetings,
Erik

[las3rjock]

Is the file actually comma-separated or is it semicolon-delimited as shown in your post?

 

[Erikve]

The file is exactly like this post, I also try to change the comma in textread in an a ;

 

[Integral]

Then it is not a csv file.

 

[Erikve]

and why not? It should be a csv-file... and how can I read it in another extension?

 

[Integral]

If it is semi colon delimited then it is NOT comma delimited. CSV stands for comma separated values and implies a comma delimited file.

 

[Erikve]

but how can I read this? :(

 

[Integral]

What are the parameters in the textread command?

Do you have to define your data structure?

 

[Dr Transport]

Either strip out the header and change your delimiter to a semi-colon or use C-style syntax to read the file within Matlab.

 

[Erikve]

I have part of the solution. I can use the following line:
[M{1:13}]=textread('ee0100.csv','%d%d%d%d%s%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d','headerlines',9,'delimiter',';');

Problem is now that I get lines like:

M =

Columns 1 through 7

[63x1 double] [63x1 double] [63x1 double] [63x1 double] {63x1 cell} [63x1 double] [63x1 double]

Columns 8 through 13

[63x1 double] [63x1 double] [63x1 double] [63x1 double] [63x1 double] [63x1 double]

And simply use M(:,1) doesn't give me the contents but [63x1 double]. So is it possible to change that?
