Reading text/number mixed CSV files as tables in Octave

问题

is there an easy way in octave to load data from a csv in a data structure similar to dataframes in R? I tries csvread dlmread but octave keeps reading test a imaginary numbers, plus I'd like to have column's headers as references. I saw that there are some examples online which see way too twisted, how is it possible that there is not a function or something similar to dataframe of R? I say a package called dataframe but I can't seem to figure out how it works. Any tip or suggestion?

csvread('x') %returns 1 column imaginary numbers
dlmread('x') %returns N columns imaginary numbers

Any working alternative?

Why are you unable to make the dataframe package work? You need to be more specific. Here's a simple example:

$ cat cars.csv 
Year,Make,Model
1997,Ford,E350
2000,Mercury,Cougar

$ octave
octave-cli-3.8.2:1> pkg load dataframe
octave-cli-3.8.2:2> cars = dataframe ("cars.csv")
cars = dataframe with 2 rows and 3 columns
Src: cars.csv                             
_1   Year    Make  Model                  
Nr double    char   char                  
 1   1997    Ford   E350                  
 2   2000 Mercury Cougar
