dpb is correct. We need more specifics. I would note, however, that a csv file can contain non-obvious data in a cell that will generate exactly the error that you are getting. For example:
1.2 2.3 4.5
3.1 5.8 9
l.1 10 8.5
Depending upon the font, it may not be apparent upon inspection that the row 3, col 1 contains lower case L period 1, rather than the decimal 1.1
Note that if I try to read the file using csvread, I get the following error message:
Error using ==> textscan
Mismatch between file and format string.
Trouble reading number from file (row 3, field 1) ==> l.1,1
Error in ==> csvread at 45
m=dlmread(filename, ',', r, c);
