Hi, im not really good at Matlab so please bear with me, here's my problem: I have a csv file that contains a plenty of row data like this

1,10/9/2010 05:42:59:390,0.25873534,0,0.25053943,0,0.26066645,0,0.26313331,0,0.6127435,0,0.015781,0,0.016664,0,0.016033,0,0.016664,0

I would like to read the data in matlab and transform it into a matrix. But matlab only reads csv files with pure numeric or text, how can i remove the string section? What commands should i use? Thanks
