Any ideas why I am getting this 'catch' error? Does anyone know how I can solve it?

%Code to Get Matrix

fid=fopen('C:\Users\Laurentiu Galan\Desktop\Tickers.csv');
C = textscan(fid, '%s');
fclose(fid);

%Grab First Value (Just as check)
thisval=(C{1});

% Calculate Number of Tickers
D=size(thisval);

NumTick=D(1,1);

%Calculate Loop to download tickers
  for i=1:NumTick
  thissym=thisval{i};
  thisurl = strcat('http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=', thissym, '&d=10&e=8&f=2011&g=d&a=0&b=1&c=2000&ignore=.csv');
  thisdata=urlread(thisurl);
  catch continue; 
  end
  thisfilename = strcat(thissym, '.csv');
  outputfile = strcat('C:\Users\Laurentiu Galan\Desktop\tickoutput\',thisfilename);
  thisfileid=fopen(outputfile, 'wt')
  fprintf(thisfileid, '%s\n',thisdata)
  fclose(thisfileid)
  end

I am getting an error right after the catch, saying illegal use of the word. Any ideas how I can solve this? I know the rest of the code works. Basically, I am trying to get the code to download the tickers from yahoo finance and to skip the ticker if there is a url read error.

Thanks
