Dear Roberson,

Thank you for your answer. But still i am not clear about how to use the code.

Function call:
a=IBWread(b);

My doubt is

1. what is meant by function call ?
2. What is b ?
3. can u give explain me with a simple example?

[Walter Roberson]

The line below that says "where b is path to the ibw file."

The bit about "Function call" is telling you how to use the code.

Example:

DataFromIgorFile = IBWread('MyTestFile.ibw');

to read in MyTestFile.ibw and store the data in DatFromIgorFile

Dear Roberson,

I have tried the code but it is not working. I have a file 'BHC.ibw' on my desktop. i have used the code

 Function call:
DataFromIgorFile = IBWread('BHC.ibw');

But it shows following error.

Kindly help.

[Walter Roberson]

The phrase "Function call:" was just descriptive text. Leave it out. Just

DataFromIgorFile = IBWread('BHC.ibw');

I have done that. But still it shows error.The modified code is

    DataFromIgorFile = IBWread('BHC.ibw');

But it shows an error as follows

You need to visit the above link. Then on the right hand side there is a "Download this ZIP file" link. Click that and download the .zip. Have your system extract it into a new directory that you create. Then go into MATLAB and use

pathtool

to add that directory to your MATLAB path. After that IBWread should start to work.
