readtable_test

readtable_test, MATLAB functions which test readtable(), which can read a data file containing data in columns, with some data being numeric and some text. This directory includes a demonstration of the use of readtable();

Other MATLAB datafile readers do not do a good job of dealing with numeric/text data files.
