I don't mind reading them all in as strings, and then converting 
them. I imagine I can do that relatively easily (famous last 
words) by checking if all the entries in the string are numeric 
and if so casting to an int/long/double etc.

My question was aimed at how to store them really. What was the 
best dynamic container type that I could use to store data points 
read from csvs.

I want something which is robust enough that I don't have to keep 
changing the code every time I change my csv.

So a program that reads in a csv of the form:

"string, number, number, number"

and stores it in a container/matrix/associative array

could also read in

"number, number, string, number, string, number, number, number"

and store it in a container with similar properties.
Once I can get both csvs input in the same manner, I can work on 
determining what is in each container, and go from there.

While this may seem madness, I hope my explanation describes what 
I am trying to achieve?
