How do I convert a CSV into a .mat file?

117 views (last 30 days)
Hi all! I'm very, very new to Matlab.
With that said, does anyone know how to convert a CSV file into a .mat file in the MATLAB environment? I've had a lot of trouble answering this question.
I attached a CSV file I'd like to convert as an example.
Thank you!

Use READMATRIX and SAVE. If you don't know what options you have for file import/export, start here:

Since the csv only contains numeric data, use readmatrix to load the data in a variable
variablename=readmatrix('s1.csv')
variablename = 601×30
1.0000 2.0000 3.0000 4.0000 5.0000 6.0000 7.0000 8.0000 9.0000 10.0000 11.0000 12.0000 13.0000 14.0000 15.0000 16.0000 17.0000 18.0000 19.0000 20.0000 21.0000 22.0000 23.0000 24.0000 25.0000 26.0000 27.0000 28.0000 29.0000 30.0000 -1.3058 0.4753 0.2386 0.8905 0.1900 -0.1847 1.2578 0.4223 -0.0882 -0.7741 0.5463 0.1825 0.5501 0.5588 -0.2791 0.9483 1.3789 -0.6153 -1.1911 -2.2146 0.4179 -0.6850 -0.5301 2.4541 -0.2703 2.0393 -0.4873 0.6449 1.1344 -2.0657 0.6919 0.9040 0.9583 -0.6240 0.6435 0.0130 0.9942 -0.7210 1.0510 -0.2517 -0.2882 0.3563 0.9735 0.8418 -0.9255 -0.0538 -0.5877 -0.7887 0.7637 1.0477 -0.3909 -1.0357 0.4721 0.6661 -0.3275 -1.2818 0.7658 2.4698 -1.1613 1.1347 0.7997 -0.8532 0.2305 -0.1190 -0.2123 -0.0162 0.7013 -0.3525 -0.1148 -0.7534 -0.1055 -0.3013 -1.1287 -0.6971 0.2363 2.7745 0.1054 0.0470 -0.8231 0.8944 0.4056 1.9781 0.2339 0.1322 -0.7304 1.1916 0.4047 0.4114 0.8753 0.6590 -2.4909 0.4026 0.4192 0.4730 0.0149 0.6116 -0.3198 -1.2283 0.0982 0.7751 -0.5547 1.6765 -0.1421 0.1224 1.1226 -0.3533 -0.4501 0.6416 0.7636 -1.8042 0.3936 -0.6506 0.4042 -0.0965 0.3386 -0.6428 -0.7394 -0.7689 -0.1163 -0.6049 0.6712 0.0594 0.6565 -0.9345 0.2206 -0.2595 -1.5355 1.4188 0.0184 -0.0844 -0.6431 -1.2969 0.1613 0.4944 0.6865 -0.2415 -0.2418 0.6777 -0.6915 0.8652 -1.6952 -0.0834 -0.7070 -1.5196 0.3596 0.6885 0.3269 0.6826 0.0505 0.5837 0.7416 -0.2559 -1.3103 0.5226 -1.2307 0.9265 -1.0310 -1.3979 0.3473 -0.5073 0.7573 -0.3558 -0.8489 -0.9468 -1.2723 -1.4913 0.1615 -0.7566 -0.8487 1.1302 -0.5367 2.1766 1.1139 -0.4200 -1.3210 -0.9183 1.2579 -2.0190 -1.5843 0.0366 -1.8363 0.0953 -0.1014 -1.5904 0.5274 -1.8288 0.6184 0.3599 0.0473 0.9205 0.1349 0.2421 -0.6110 0.2096 -1.5279 -0.6166 0.9268 0.4973 -0.4492 -0.0835 -0.1561 -0.5549 -1.2751 -0.7055 -0.3526 1.4965 -1.0777 0.5511 1.0568 1.1883 0.4999 -0.3426 0.4156 2.3611 0.2794 -0.0015 -0.2282 0.8923 0.1668 0.3200 -0.9493 -0.1182 0.5362 1.1284 1.0759 -0.7482 -0.9277 -0.6424 -0.5670 1.2100 -0.6835 -0.0577 -0.3288 -0.8385 0.3540 -0.2467 1.7741 -1.7797 -0.7689 -0.1242 0.6074 -0.9442 -1.5507 -1.3478 -0.4522 0.4705 -0.8007 -1.2068 -1.2416 0.6148 -0.3209 0.2555 0.7224 0.8626 -0.2047 -1.6995 0.1350 1.1163 0.4736 0.5631 -0.4381 0.2127 1.1229 0.7547 -0.0553 0.4967 1.3056 -0.8450 1.0019 -0.6653

use Readtable function or readmatrix if your data includes numeric
loadyourfile=readtable("s1.csv");
save('yourmatfile.mat','loadyourfile')
