Read 2 and 6 columns of multiple .csv files with different file names

Hi,

I have tried the following code to read 2 and 6 columns of multiple .csv files (368) with different file names. Then i need to store in 368 arrays. Screen shot of the .csv file is shown below.

clear all
folder='<path>\csv';
filetype='*.csv';  
f=fullfile(folder,filetype);
d=dir(f);
for k=1:numel(d);
  data{k}=dlmread(fullfile(folder,d(k).name),' ',0,5);
end

But it does not work to accomplish my task.

Can somebody help me in this regard.?

Thanks in advance.
