MATLAB: CSV with multiple headers

csvmultiple headers

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to open a csv which contains multiple headers and matrices? The problem is that the file alternates between headers and data.
I've tried 'importdata', but it is only effective at importing the first set of headers and subsequent data, while ignoring the rest.
Thanks so much for any and all help.

Best Answer

You might be able to use textscan(), processing a piece at a time. If not, then you will have to use more basic I/O such as fgetl() and parse it yourself.
dlmread() and csvread() will be useless for this purpose.
