How can I create a point shapefile from a csv (or matrix) with lat/long columns?

I have a csv file (or I can use a matrix object) within Matlab that I need to convert to a shapefile (points). An example of the first 3 rows of my data is below.

%    X                   Y              var1 var2 var3
%463310.925537576   5013978.52568211    5    8     1
%464344.150891795   5013195.54547050    2    4     9
%463782.424931854   5012644.08397560    2    1     8 

I want to create the point shp with this data. I've tried this:

%lat long needs to be plotted.
[T.Geometry] = 'Point';
T.x = 'X';  % latitude
T.y = 'Y';  % longitude
T.var1 = 'var1';
T.var2 = 'var2';
T.var3 = 'var3';
T  

I've tried this:

%lat long needs to be plotted.
[T(1:1780).Geometry] = deal('Point');
T.x = 'X';  % latitude
T.y = 'Y';  % longitude
T.var1 = 'var1';
T.var2 = 'var2';
T.var3 = 'var3';
T   

The problem is that these two methods only work if you delinate each point one at a time. I have a csv with 1780 points...

Im not sure what you want, but maybe this can help:

for i=1:1780
    T.(sprintf('var%g',i))=sprintf('var%g',i);
end

This creates a structure with 1780 fields

I already have a structure iwth 1780 rows. Is that what you mean by fields? Usually fields means columns--at least in spatial science. structure T is a matrix with 1780 rows. It needs to be converted from a CSV to a SHP (which means a geometry needs to be added).
