Hi all,
So I read in a csv file with two columns, the first being, say, the name of a
person the second her height, along with a header row ("name,height").
stuff = csv2cell('blah.csv')
To get the column of heights sans header, I do this:
h = [stuff{2:end,2}]'
h is now:
1.8
1.8
1.9
etc.
How do I get a similar thing for the text column? I don't mind each row being
truncated to a certain pre-determined column width, though having the max width
calculated would be better. Thus
names:
Mary
Frances
Cecilia
etc
Thanks!
