I have a .mat file (V7.3 format) from other people with a structure and a table variable inside. With the common python package (hdf5storage and h5py), I can load the structure in this .mat file, but the content in the table is shown as a strange integer vector

[3707764736 2 1 1 110 1]

I tried the codes in

h5py: Issues to correctly read a 'table' class stored in MATLAB (.mat -7.3)

but it gives the same strange vector.

Does anyone have the experience on this issue? Thank you so much.

    This is a really common problem without any good answers I'm afraid. Aside from what you've already tried, perhaps try `mat73` package, https://pypi.org/project/mat73/ – user12339314 Jun 16 '21 at 07:50
  • Thank you for the suggestion. I tried `mat73`, and it gave error message as below. ERROR:root:ERROR: MATLAB type not supported: table, (uint32) – Felix Liang Jun 16 '21 at 08:15
  • Sorry I can't help further but if you do find a solution please do come back and answer your own question. I'm sure it will be very helpful to lots of people. – user12339314 Jun 16 '21 at 09:52
  • Thank you very much. Will come back when there is a solution. – Felix Liang Jun 23 '21 at 01:36
  • Hello @FelixLiang, did you ever solve this issue? I have encountered the same MATLAB type not supported error. – user3485516 Jan 31 '22 at 14:56
