title: CSV import, only one column (Matlab/Octave)
body: <p>I have since several days problems with reading my measurement csv files and make some simple calculations. I hope someone can help me.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My Aim</strong>
  Read CSV data file, as followed:</p>
  
  <p><strong>Open with Excel:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>date: 20140202  time: 083736    Cycles total: 74127 T_zer: 56   T_op1: 90.000       
   Actu state: stoppes !  T1: -23 T2: -12 T3: -32 T4: -65     
  *-*                     
  324203  0   34724   0   0   0   2
  431040  0   0   0   0   0   1
  230706  0   0   0   0   0   1
  340810  0   0   0   0   0   1
  ..............
  ....
  .
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>-->Here 1st question: If I open with editor, I can only see one delimiter, its ";". But there must be two? One for row , one for columns? How can Excel separate it  correctly into row and col, if there is only ";" ?</p>
  
  <p>However... now I tried to csvread this file with octave. There I get it into octave, but everything only in one column:/. For me it would be very comfortable Octave could read it into a 7x X Matrix. In this case I can handle the data easy.</p>
  
  <p>Here my Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>clc
  clear all
  [fname,pname] =uigetfile();
  
  fname;
  extra="/";
  pname;
  
  b=strcat(pname,extra,fname);
  
  m = csvread(b);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Result:</strong>
  m as double with 4003x1. 4003 is corretct, but everything in one colum:/</p>
  
  <pre><code>m =
  
         0
         0
         0
     454203
     561040
     340706
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried now to handle this problem up to several days, but no result.</p>
