Hi,
I have a csv file which contains the follwing format. Unfortunatelly it is not possible to remove the douuble quotes due to the method in which the data is generated. I am not able to parse out the data after the double quotes as the import data is treating it as a single field. Ideally I need to parse it as 1,10,10,A but it is not able to identify the delimiter in the double quotes.
data format:
1,"10,10,A"
4,"10,14,A"
15,"10,11,B"
Below is the readout when I try to import the data
What would you recommend? Thanks a lot!

type data.txt
1,"10,10,A" 4,"10,14,A" 15,"10,11,B"
fid=fopen("data.txt", "r")
fid = 3
a=fscanf(fid, '%d,"%d,%d,%c"', [4 inf])'
a = 3×4
1 10 10 65 4 10 14 65 15 10 11 66
fclose(fid)
ans = 0
