reading CSV files with unquoted strings

[CdeMills]

Hello,

an instrument export its data as CSV, but strings are unquoted:
DataName, DcMon, AcMon
DataValue, 0.003, 0.05

and so on. I tried:
dlmread, but it can't extract the 'DataName' line
csv2cell, but it won't work with an empty a string separator.

Is there some routine which would, for each field, try to convert it to a
number; if it succeeds then store it as a number, otherwise store it as a
string ?

My purpose is to NOT reinvent a csv parser.

Regards

Pascal
