OK so I needed to import a .csv table into Matlab, but knew it could be tricky. A friend wrote some Matlab code for me once to do this and it was a page-and-half of fiddly code, filled with string trimming and required quite prescriptive column and row names.I knew pandas could handle csv files nicely, but was keen to keep things in Matlab since the rest of the code was there etc. So I google for the best way to do it and gotthis. Its awhole blog called Abandon Matlab on how awful Matlab is! Has chapter and verse about how Matlab does not handle csv files with mixed data… I did not go looking for this.
