CSV file imported with readmatrix is misreading the data in the CSV file

I'm trying to read a roughly 400 row csvfile consisting of one column of 3 digit numbers and 35 colums of 8 digit integres. The resulting array consists of 5 digit numbers with a decimal point after the first number. This isn't too helpful. The numbers represent measured frequencies in the 15MHz range so I'm losing data when importing

"The resulting array consists of 5 digit numbers with a decimal point after the first number." I assume that you describe how the numbers are displayed in the Command Window.
Try
format long
Example:
>> format long
>> pi
ans =
3.141592653589793
>> format short
>> pi
ans =
3.1416
>>
"I'm losing data when importing" No, it's only a question of how the values are presented.

Example
>> fprintf( 1, '%.2f\n', pi )
3.14
>> fprintf( 1, '%.4f\n', pi )
3.1416
