Cannot load .csv file into matlab

Hi i am trying to load a .csv file provided by my teacher for school and when i type in:

c = csvread('CoolingLiquid.csv')

i just get a error message even though the file only has one column of only numbers. If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

This is the error message:

Error using csvread (line 35)

File not found.

Error in CoolingLiquidDK (line 10)

c = csvread('CoolingLiquid.csv')

It maybe because the file is not in matlab's path , make sure it is and try again.

You do not have a file with that name in your current directory, or anywhere along the MATLAB path. It is probably in a different directory.

You can cd() to the directory the file is in, or you can specify the complete name when you read the file:

c = csvread('C:\Users\yukuos\Documents and Settings\MATLAB\CoolingLiquid.csv');

but use the correct name for where the file is on your system.
