MATLAB: Reding csv file which contains numbers and strings

csv

Hi
I have a csv file test.csv with some thousands of lines each with three columns in the following style:
Wqckwb Pqbbxx Oq Ptjnfbdqa Gqpqsn Bdqoxfn  519908  519
cms nmyqjnmqsbdqgq pnqqfn g fxtfeqq fqmgqpqsn  411990  411
Unfortunately I can not read the file in with csv – what exactly can I do? Thanks

Try importdata but it's not absolutely guaranteed. With the regular numeric format it should be able to figure it out.
But, if it can't successfully read the first column as a text header then textscan or fscanf are your friends....
