'cell' error

I have been chasing this error for about an hour and a half and don't know where to look. In this function I am passing in a number of strings. I also have a few "get(handles.xrayUseBox,'Value')" inputs to the function. I keep getting the error below and am stumped. What does this mean? Do I have a variable undefined? (I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no) or am I using an input in an improper way?

 ??? Undefined function or method 'noise_function_test_EE1' for input arguments of type 'cell'.

The error is then pointing at the function. Thank you

You can use the debugger to find out more details:

dbstop if error

Then MATLAB stops in the line, which causes the error and you can inspect the types of the local variables. Obviously it contains a function 'noise_function_test_EE1' with a cell as input, but such a function does not exist.

If you cannot solve the problem, post the relevant lines here.

Does that mean the function itself does not exist or something within the function is acting funny?

Thanks

You can simply test the existence by "which noise_function_test_EE1".

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

Is handles.xrayUseBox an array of handles? If so then get()'ing the Value would result in a cell array.

[William]

For xrayUseBox I am just looking for a 1 or a 0.

Well,

It turns out the problem lies in the previous guy misspelling "Function" in the title. Sometimes when EE's play in other people's sandboxes we see stuff that just makes us groan :Z
