Hi, I have a problem loading csv file using textscan function (it doesn't have to be this function)
the data format is
12/6/2010, "$213,680,460.70 ", 0.28%, 1.24, ,0.228074442
12/7/2010, "$576,336,234.32 ", -0.95%, 1.24, ,0.323535468
12/8/2010, "$448,346,151.34 ", -0.72%, 1.23, ,0.228460815
so, the problem comes from the dollar amount column, as comma delimiter recognize 1000 separator as a delimiter as well.
How can I load the csv file with the following format?
12/6/2010, 213680460.70 , 0.28%, 1.24, ,0.228074442
12/7/2010, 576336234.32 , -0.95%, 1.24, ,0.323535468
12/8/2010, 448346151.34 , -0.72%, 1.23, ,0.228460815

Here is one way that uses regexprep to remove the commas from numbers inside quotation marks. The altered string is then parsed by textscan:
str = fileread('temp.txt');
str = regexprep(str,'"\$(\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*?(\.\d+)?)\s*"','${strrep($1,'','','''')}');
C = textscan(str,'%s%f%f%%%f%f%f','Delimiter',',');
Which generates this output:
>> C{1}
ans =
'12/6/2010'
'12/7/2010'
'12/8/2010'
'12/8/2010'
>> C{2}
ans =
213680460.7
576336234.32
448346151.34
12.34
>> C{3}
ans =
0.28
-0.95
-0.72
-0.72
>> C{4}
ans =
... ETC
The test-file that I used is here:

Have you tried using the import tool (Import Data button on the home tab)?

That's not what I suggested, I suggested using the Import Tool which will allow you to specify how things should behave interactively. The best part is you can then generate code from it which will give you the textscan syntax you need.
