Re: CSV Import

[ramack]

I realize this is an old thread that I'm resurrecting, but it is very similar
to what I am wanting to do. I need to load or import a text file with a
date/time stamp in the first column, header info is in the first row.  

The partial contents of the file.csv are:
"Date","Time","Open","High","Low","Close","Total Ticks"
1/26/2012 5:00,1.06293,1.06688,1.05914,1.06507,96345

Using dlmread("file.csv",",") 
0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1.06293 1.06688 1.05914 1.06507 96345 0

I'm not sure what I need to do in order to retain the date/time stamp.  How
can the first column be imported as a character string while the remaining
columns are numeric.
