Error using edfread when trying to read in an edf file

When trying to read in an edf file with this code:

%Get the edf file
edf_name = uigetfile('*.edf') ;
string_compare = strcmp(strsplit(inputfile,'.'),strsplit(edf_name,'.'));

[info, data] = edfread(edf_name);

I receive the following error:

Error using edfread (line 125)
No such file or directory

Error in StimulusTestNew (line 29)
[info, data] = edfread(edf_name);

How can I fix this?

Thanks!
