robustreadcsv

CSVREAD for files with varying number of cols.

Description

If you have a file that has more commas in some lines than others, this is for you.

It's very simple, but it may help some of you.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1)

[Ricardo Pachon]

Indeed, it can help you! Perhaps you must add a few lines so it fits your needs, but it will work fine.

[Francis Pieraut]

Great! This function should be include by defalut in matlab. It works perfectly.

[Dan Don]

Simple and effective

[Chris Zhou]

Excellent reader, but consume too much memory for large files

[Michael Koelemay]

This function is indeed really great, and robust.

I added 1 line to hugely boost performance by preallocating the output array "MM". To do this, just add this line right before the "for" loop:

MM=cell(length(M),max(cellfun(@length,regexp(M,','))));
