[scilab-Users] : Loading CSV Files

[Malcolm Northcott]

The function fscanfMat works very efficiently provided the data elements
are separated by spaces or tabs. If you have the more common comma
separation you are stuck (AFAIK) with iterating through the file one
element at a time.
This is effective, but excruciatingly slow.
If you are using Unix you can use the 'tr' command to change commas to
spaces, but that is not portable to Windows unless you have cygwin
installed.

Subject: [scilab-Users] : Loading CSV Files


I have data in a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. I would like to
load this data into Scilab to manipulate. The load function that I found
only loads previous session variables. Is there another load function
that can load in raw data in a CSV format?
