store string and integer type CSV file into a matrix matlab

Question

I have a CSV file that has 3 columns having : String type(This can be a word or a sentence), integer type, integer type [these are the column types]
Now I want to store this data into a matrix,where the string(the whole sentence is stored into one cell)and the integers in one cell each too. I tried this:

fileID=fopen('training.csv');
C=textscan(fileID,'%s %d %d');

But it gives each word of the sentence in a different cell!The whole sentecne should be stored in one cell.How do I do that?

Thank you.

EDIT:It does seem to read anything now,this is what I get

celldisp(C)

C{1}{1} =

     jdl 

C{2} =

     []   

C{3} =

     []

Pretty much looks like this.It has 3500 rows of data

Answer 1

You could put the strings into quotation marks and then use %q in textscan:

%q  String, where double quotation marks indicate text to keep together

EDIT: If you only need to do that once (and not automatically via script in another process), what about manually importing the data from the CSV-File into MATLAB (via the import-tool provided by matlab:

)

and then maybe save the imported variables simply to a MAT-file so you can access it easier in the future!?

Answer 2

If you have Excel, you can use xlsread. You can also try importdata.
