Problems using importdata function
3 views (last 30 days)

When running a script that includes the 'importdata' function the script fails, however, if I run that same failed 'importdata' line (using Evaluate Selection) straight afterwards, without changing anything in my script or workspace, the 'importdata' function works without problem.
Please can you advice as to what the problem might be and how to solve the problem. I am using Matlab 2014b

Yeah, I agree w/ the comment shouldn't alias built-in/TMW-supplied functions but couldn't see that it should have had an effect on the code.

Has to be there's something not being shown...like a variable set in the workplace that isn't in the script (which makes me wonder if the "script" is really a function, perhaps?)
As noted before, we need sufficient code in context to see how the error can be reproduced but my guess is on the above. Set a breakpoint within the script/function and I'll bet you can track down the "why" based on local values at that time before the importdata call.
