Method of extracting data from CSV

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Dear All, I have a very large CSV file with 5 columns which contains some historical financial prices.
Column 1 is our date starting from 1/3/2007 all the way till till mid 2011 in the form of mm/dd/yyyy.
Column 2 is our time of out trades in the form of :
35:45.0 35:45.0 35:46.0 35:46.0 35:46.0 (as seen in excel)
However when I change the data type of this column in excel from CUSTOM to TIME I get something better which I need:
13:07:23 13:07:24 13:07:24 13:07:25 13:07:25
Column 3 is our respective prices
Column 4 is our symbol (stays the same)
Column 5 is the number of trades.
So my question is I have all of this information...
I want to put the all the columns in one matrix in MATLAB (apart from 4). But I DONT want it to be a string matrix as I want to do some operations with the data.
Hint: May need to convert column 1 and 2 in to number format?

fid = fopen('YourFile.csv', 'rt');
datacell = textscan(fid, '%s%s%f%*s%f', 'Delimiter', ',');
fclose(fid);
dates = datenum(datacell{1}, 'mm/dd/yyyy');
outtrades = datenum(datacell{2}, 'MM:SS:FFF');
prices = datacell{3};
ntrades = datacell{5};
datamatrix = horzcat(dates, outtrades, prices, ntrades);
Question: is there no hour in the data?

CSV does not fully open on matlabs editor due to the limit of 1 million rows.
