Re: csvread

It does work but plotting graphs results in nothing that is too meaningful as yet.  I think I would like the addpath command to allow me to have the filename searched for.

Environment variables in operating systems work in a similar manner, so I am kind of used to using path as an environment variable that is globally searched for.

Not sure if someone can request this on the bug tracker.

Yes, you have asked about this before (with pkg, but the same insight
applies to both). The addpath function does not help you in this case.

Try either cd() to the directory where the file is or use the full file
name. To be clear, either of these should work:

  cd('C:\Users\slyth_000\Downloads\temp\M.Sc\data-sets\eurofxref')
  x = csvread ('eurofxref.csv')

or

  dir = 'C:\Users\slyth_000\Downloads\temp\M.Sc\data-sets\eurofxref';
  x = csvread (fullfile (dir, 'eurofxref.csv'))
