title: matlab read h5 file produced with pandas
body: <p>I have a csv file and I have transformed it in an h5 file with pandas:</p>
  
  <pre><code>data = pd.read_csv('file.csv')
  data.to_hdf('file.h5', 'table')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I would like to read it with matlab. </p>
  
  <p>How can I do that?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried </p>
  
  <pre><code>data = h5read('file.h5','/g4/lat');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get:</p>
