Right display of error!

I have two variables in my .m file, which calculates- "possible_hrs" and "diff". The error is thrown if the required hours > possible hours.

error('For this Regular working shift, the maximum working time for a ONE-GO step is ',possible_hrs,'hours.', ...
            'Please decrease Step Duration weather by' ,diff, ' hours or increase the working hours');

But the MATLAB gives me a warning- "The Format String might not agree with the argument count".

And finally it is not displayed correctly also (in the situation of error). What could be the solution?

Hi,

After I read the Matlab help I think this should work:

error('For this Regular working shift, the maximum working time for a ONE-GO step is %d hours. Please decrease Step Duration weather by %d hours or increase the working hours', possible_hrs, diff);

In this case, %d will be taken as a comment. I don't think it is working as I want!

Thanks for your reply though!

This works in the command window:

>> error('For this Regular working shift, the maximum working time for a ONE-GO step is %d hours. Please decrease Step Duration weather by %d hours or increase the working hours',24,5)
For this Regular working shift, the maximum working time for a ONE-GO step is 24 hours. Please decrease Step Duration weather by 5 hours or
increase the working hours

I just realized that it did work. I guess, was doing something wrong!

Thanks!
