cell2struct is running during execution in command window but not in program

i'm extracting a cell array value using cell2struct function .it yields me the answer when i'm running the code in command window. but when executing during the program it returns me a error

Undefined function 'cell2struct' for input arguments of type 'double'.

Error in authen>authenticate_Callback (line 141) a=cell2struct(raw,'A1',2);

Please, provide enough information.

Is this an exact copy of the error message or did you paraphrase it? Please post exact copies in every case, because a paraphrased message could omit the actual problem, e.g. a typo in "cell2struct".

Answer 1

[Azzi Abdelmalek]

Maybe raw is not a cell number in your script. In your m-file type this

class(raw)

and make comment

% a=cell2struct(raw,'A1',2);

What did you get?

[Walter Roberson]

Good point, cell2struct is specific to cells.

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

Is it possible that your program is adjusting the MATLAB path to the point where the normal cell2struct is not on the path?

Also, just in case, please edit the line and retype "cell2struct" -- just in case one of those lower-case-L is a digit-one in the code.
