How to read rows until I find blank row in csv file and copy to another cell?

15 views (last 30 days)
I have .csv file with data.after few rows there are blank rows, blank row can be after 2 rows or after 5 rows or maybe after 150 rows it's not fixed. I wanted to copy data until find blank row and create seperate cell to use it further and do same with next rows of data until I find next blank row. Stuck with logic, tried using readmatrix(filename), tried detecting blank row from 'NaN' string Not able to solve this problem..

d = readmatrix(filename)
mask = any(isnan(d), 2).';
starts = findstr([false, mask], [0,1]);
stops = findstr([mask, false], [1,0]);
blocks = arrayfun(@(s,e)d(s:e,:), starts, stops, 'uniform', 0);

New lines of code works better than previous.
But in blocks var blank row is getting copied into another cell, I want to copy data and not blank row which can be seperated/identified by NaN.
But thanks anyway, i am also debugging this code further to get what is intended...
