Error Struct contents reference from a non-struct array object.

Hi, I have a question about the following code:

filename = 'Oefen.csv';
delimiterIn = ',';
headerlinesIn = 1;
currenciesStruct = importdata(filename,delimiterIn,headerlinesIn);

rate = currenciesStruct.data(2:end,6)

I get the following error:

Struct contents reference from a non-struct array object.

Error in nu (line 6)

rate = currenciesStruct.data(2:end,6)

How can I solve this error?

currenciesStruct is not a struct, so currenciesStruct.data cannot be understood. If you do,

>> openvar currenciesStruct

you should be able to see where your intended data resides.

Thank you! But how can I then read my file?
