CSV2STRUCT reads Excel's files stored in .xls or .csv file formats and stores results as a struct.
The Excel file is assumed to have a single header row. The output struct will have a field for each column and the field name will be based on the column name read from the header.
Unlike csvread, csv2struct is able to read files with both text and number fields. Unlike xlsread, csv2struct is able to read .csv files with more than 65536 rows.
Utility was originally written for reading large .csv files.
