Thanks for the shout-out, Kai!

My goal for Tablicious is to have full API-level Matlab compatibility, including readtable() and related I/O functions. They're on the TODO list - https://github.com/apjanke/octave-tablicious/issues/49 - and as soon as my day job quiets down a bit, they'll happen.

Feel free to try out Tablicious, and if there are any features you'd like to see added to it, drop a bug report on its GitHub issue tracker.

Subscribing to this issue.

yes, the table type is classdef and (afaik) just a bunch of structs. 


weeks ago (long before committed to github) I've started table() but get stuck while overloading subsref and subsasgn. This is absolutly necessary to feel comfortable with table(). 


If anyone like to involve: https://github.com/octave-de/table

Isn't readTable related to classdef?

Parts of the "table" class / type look very much like dataframes.

It seems like some parts of readTable could be implemented as wrappers around dlmread (and xlsread, once spreadsheet I/O is in core Octave).
A bottleneck is the ability to read and write tables from/to disk (.mat files). Even for classdef there's no support yet for I/O to e.g., .mat files.

As for the io package, I've looked at implementing dataframe I/O in combination with spreadsheet I/O some time ago, the concept doesn't look too daunting.

Do we need to lower severity/priority?

I'm afraid it's bigger than just readtable.  The entire table data type and associated functions are not implemented.  Changing the title to reflect that, but this is a huge feature request and probably won't happen unless someone has a lot of interest or we can get a Google Summer of Code student to work on it.

readtable is not implemented. The function reads a csv file into a table. It was implemented in Matlab 2014b.
