Octave: Getting value with full precision through csvread()

When i read a csv file using csvread(), the values have only 4 point precision, eg. -5.2556 instead of the actual value -5.2555569189. How can i get the full value?

>> a(1,7)
ans = -5.2556

By default, Octave only displays 5 significant digits

By default, Octave displays 5 significant digits in a human readable form (option ‘short’ paired with ‘loose’ format for matrices). If format is invoked without any options, this default format is restored.

If you want to change this, use format with an input argument to allow you to see more digits in the command window display.
