Thread Subject: goto

Hi,

This might seem like a stupid question, but how does the
goto function work in matlab?

I tried 'goto(Inf)' to go to the end of the program, but I
can't get it to work..

Here is some of the script:
[FileName,PathName] = uigetfile('*','Select the file');

try
    File=importdata(FileName);
catch myEx
    disp(myEx.message)
    errordlg('Unable to open file','Error')
    goto(Inf)
end

Any suggestions?

Use RETURN if you just want to exit the function.

As Rune suggests, use return instead. But
I'm curious as to why you think that goto is
a valid function in matlab? It is not.

fortunately there is no goto in Matlab...
