Matlab stops working when i try to import one spesific .MAT file.

Hi,

I have a .mat file, which was generated by another Matlab release. It was send me by mail and I could open it in my own Matlab without any problem.

But now when I try to import the folder, it waits, then gives the executed sound and then a window comes saying " Matlab stopped working " . Then Matlab shuts down itself.

In the log it says " Segmentation violation detected ". This problem doesn't occur in any other .mat file or in any other .m file which I recieved with the same mail.

I have deleted and downloaded the .mat file again but my Matlab still can't open it.

How can I access that mat. file ?

Thanks in advance, Dila.

There may be something wrong with the mat-file. Use the matfile function to look at its contents without loading them into memory.

hi thank you,

I've tried but matfile function doesn't exist. It is probably because this matlab is R2009a version.

Instead I used "whos -file filename" , and it gave the exact same reaction. Matlab stopped working.
