Holy mackerel! I’m new to matlab, but the import process was killing me. This thing is amazing. I can’t believe that Mathworks doesn’t have a tool that’s exactly like this.

My only suggestions:
+ Read the first few row(s) of data to test columns for number values for smarter defaults (rather than all strings). I wrote something like this in VBA if you’d like it.
+ Include brief data definitions for the data types (do I need an int32 or int64? I don’t know!)

Great! This is very convinient to use. But I use matlab codes for opening the data and reading/writing. Such as fid = fopen(…);fread(fid,inf,’int64′)…

Thanks!

Cyrock, could you share a sample (just a few lines) to make the problem case clear? Thanks!

Great! But for it to be awesome it should handle numerical values with commas in it.
