Why do I get error for xlabel all of a sudden?

Index exceeds the number of array elements. Index must not
exceed 10.
Error in readData (line 57)
xlabel('x');
I have a data.m with 8 rows and 3000 columns.
My plots were "working" (slight problem with the legend not showing for second line but good enough) but now I am getting this on Line 57.
I attached my script but it looks like this around line 57
%plot xy for task3 and 5
figure; hold on
%plot(task3_x, task3_y, task5_x, task5_y);
t3 = plot(task3_x, task3_y);
t3_name = 'task 3';
t5 = plot(task5_x, task5_y);
t5_name = 'task 5';
title('task 3 and 5');
xlabel('x'); % line 57
ylabel('y');
legend([t3, t5], [t3_name, t5_name]);

"The solution is to find the variable called 'xlabel' and name it something else."
Yes, or put a clear (or clear xlabel) at the top of your script readData.m.

That's a good point. It's always a good idea to keep the workspace clear of old variables from prior or unrelated code.

@Nobutaka Kim, The code does not throw that error for me. So like DGM says, it's likely you ran a different script that placed a variable called xlabel into the base workspace so when this script runs, it throws an error because it thinks xlabel is an array instead of the function to label an axis. To debug, put this line in there. Either early in your script, or just type it into the command window:
which -all xlabel
Tell me what you see in the command window.

Thanks all for the kind advice.
I restarted Matlab and the error went away so it must have been a variable in the workspace as mentioned.
