Read .CSV file and remove lines

4 views (last 30 days)
I need to read in a .csv file that has 3 header lines and each line of data also ends in 'Speed 1' which is unwanted. I would like the data in just a double array with 4 columns.

In the csv file which you uploaded I see 5 different types of datas with different headers?

This may be the least aesthetically appealing code I ever wrote. Its only redeeming factor is that ‘Result’ is the matrix you want:
[D,S,R] = xlsread('20lbin.csv');
S2 = S(4:end,:);
S3 = strsplit([S2{:}],'Speed 1')';
S4 = sscanf([S3{:}],'%f,');
Result = reshape(S4, 4, [])';
