How can I extract only 3 columns from a large CSV without running out of memory?

I have huge CSV files containing financial trade prices. The CSV files (when opened in excel), show 5 columns. I want to extract only columns 1, 3 and 5 (Date in form of mm/dd/yyyy, prices up to 2 decimal places 51.44 and volume which is a whole number).

As you can understand with only 16GB RAM, I run out of memory very easily when dealing with CSV of sizes 16GB itself (16GB being the extreme example of what I have).

Can anybody tell me how I can extract these 3 columns without running out of memory and show me how to code it?

Didn't we already discuss this? http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/71837#comment_142995 To recap, read a line at a time and pull out only those numbers on the line that you need, and put them into the smallest variable possible.
