[BUG] csvread

[Mik Kim]

When I use csvread on the following data, it only reports 4 columns. It seems blank columns are not handled well and skipped.

,,,5.73500008e-008,       0.232
,,,5.74000008e-008,        0.24
,,,5.74500008e-008,       0.244
,,,5.75000008e-008,       0.244
,,,5.75500008e-008,        0.22
,,,5.76000008e-008,       0.196
.
.
.

For above data, 
x=csvread('xxx.csv'); size(x)

shows
 285000        4

When I use the following data, it seems the rows with data in 5 columns are correct, but rows that begin with ,,, are missing one column.

"Record Length",500,"Points",5.73500008e-008,       0.232

For above data, 

x=csvread('xxx.csv'); size(x)


shows
