Why doesn't Matlab call the overloaded subsref method?

Hi,

I have a class in which I have overloaded both subsref (and subasgn)

for some constructed object obj, I am able to sucessfully do the following :

• obj(1)
• obj{1}
• obj('some string')

But I am not able to do

• obj{'some string'}

In this particular case, when I call subsref with curly braces around a string, Matlab does not call the overloaded subsref. The error message I get is "Too many output arguments."

I don't understand what is going on

My best guess is that it's likely there's an error in your case '{}' that is creating an output for every char character. In order for someone to actually figure it out, however, you'd have to provide your subsref code.
