Command to import column vectors

I am importing .csv files into matlab and usually I just specify the output type to column vectors(as shown in the picture), I was wondering if there is a command line that can do load the file automatically into my variables rather than having to open the import tab and specifying column vectors for each file

Doing that programmatically is not recommended.
A table is a much better solution (every variable in the table is one column vector).

Stephen's comment is correct. Each variable in a table is a column vector.
You can see this by selecting the "Generate Script" option from the drop down of the "Import Selection" button.
Here's a sample code which I saw when I generated a script for extracting column vectors:
% set options
% ...
% Import the data
tbl = readtable("somedata.txt", opts);
%% Convert to output type
VarName6 = tbl.VarName6;
'VarName6' was the output column vector.
