MATLAB: Use Import’s automatic table detection programatically

Question

When opening a *.csv with header in the "Import" window, the data table is automatically selected. Is there a way this can be done programatically? The methods described elsewhere (importdata, textread, csvread etc) are less generic and require knowledge of either the number of headerlines or header/table contents.

Answer 1

It sounds like the R2016b function, http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/detectimportoptions.html
