Question

I have a csv file that contains comma in contents.

% with dot

15.12.2012 11:27;   0.9884753
11.12.2012 11:12;   10.670.642
11.12.2012 10:57;   114.455.145

Gdata= textscan(fid, '%s %f')

It works well.

% but what to do with dot

15.12.2012 11:27;   0,9884753
11.12.2012 11:12;   10,670.642
11.12.2012 10:57;   114,455.145

How can I read it.

regards,

Answer 1

This may solve possible unevennes due to the presence of both ‘,’ and ‘.’

fid = fopen('data.d','r');
Gdata= textscan(fid, '%s %s','delimiter', ';' )

% // cancels '.' and sets ',' as '.'
f = @(i) str2double(regexprep(regexprep(i,'\.',''),',','\.'));

Num = cellfun(f,Gdata(2),'UniformOutput' , false);

Num{:}

         ans =

       0.9885
       10.6706
       114.4551
