Matlab: convert a csv char cell to double vector

I am having difficulty converting data I am taking from a spectrum analyzer. It is being placed in a variable that need to be pushed to an excel file to be usable. The variable that it is placed in is of type char.

a=('-2.2748E+01,-2.3454E+00,5.2434E00,.........')

How do I convert this to usable data?

You can use textscan to easily parse this string out into multiple numbers.

a = '-2.2748E+01,-2.3454E+00,5.2434E00';

data = textscan(a, '%f', 'delimiter', ',');
data = data{1};

%  -22.7480
%   -2.3454
%    5.2434
