MATLAB: How to convert a char array into a double array

datatype

I have a character array (68*1 int8)
Y = Columns 1 through 9
   49   52   55   52   51   52   46   55   50
Columns 10 through 18
   54   56   54   44   32   51   44   32   32
Columns 19 through 27
   32   48   46   48   48   48   44   32   32
Columns 28 through 36
   48   46   48   55   56   44   32   49   48
Columns 37 through 45
   46   52   51   52   44   32   53   44   32
Columns 46 through 54
   32   55   51   46   57   51   56   44   32
Columns 55 through 63
   54   55   46   53   54   50   44   45   56
Columns 64 through 68
   52   46   56   49   50
The real data looks like this
X  = 147434.72686, 3,   0.000,  0.078, 10.434, 5,  73.938, 67.562,-84.812
It is a CSV array. I want to convert this into a double array, So that I can access each of the values in X as a decimal number.
edit: I'm sorry if the question wasn't clear. I'm getting IMU data from my phone on to matlab, the UDP packets which are actually like X is sent as Y. So inorder to do my computation I need to convert this back to floating point values.(ie change Y to X)
