Question

I have a csv file where each column is a different test result, and each line is a different simulation. It looks something like this:

                (test 1) (test 2) (test 3) (test 4) (test 5)
(simulation 1)     3   ,    4   ,    6   ,   7   ,     8
(simulation 2)     9   ,    4   ,    7   ,   10  ,     7

Note that the text in the brackets is not in the cvs file.
I want to import this data into Matlab the same way its organized in the text file, but the resulted matrix has 3 columns and as many line as needed.

Why is that? How do I fix it?

Also, some of the numbers are imported as NaN, how do I solve it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you have a CSV file like:

3   ,    4   ,    6   ,   7   ,     8
9   ,    4   ,    7   ,   10  ,     7

To read the entire file, use

myMatrix = csvread('filename.csv');

myMatrix =

3       4       6      7        8
9       4       7      10       7
