%IMPORTFILE Import numeric data from a text file as column vectors.
%   CLASS1 = IMPORTFILE(FILENAME) Reads data from text file FILENAME for
%   the default selection.
%
%   CLASS1 = IMPORTFILE(FILENAME, STARTROW, ENDROW) Reads data from rows
%   STARTROW through ENDROW of text file FILENAME.
%
% Example:
%   class1 = importfile('dirlist.csv',1, 119);

% This call is based on the structure of the file used to generate this
% code. If an error occurs for a different file, try regenerating the code
% from the Import Tool.

% Close the text file.

% Post processing for unimportable data.
% No unimportable data rules were applied during the import, so no post
% processing code is included. To generate code which works for
% unimportable data, select unimportable cells in a file and regenerate the
% script.

% Allocate imported array to column variable names
