csvread text column

I have a csv file with a text header and one column that has text on the far right

data = csvread('test.csv',1,0,[1 0 100 6])

eg the column containing text is column 7 i tired to stop Matlab reading the text column using the range specifier but it does not work, matlab function keeps trying to read the column containing text...

i wish it would just ignore the function...

Doc says: ... csvread ... The file can only contain numeric values.

Try: textscan
