Error in first line of edfread.m

Hi,

I was trying to use the script edfread (https://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/31900-edfread), but I get the following error:

Error: File: edfread.m Line: 1 Column: 34

Invalid expression. When calling a function or indexing a variable, use parentheses. Otherwise, check for mismatched delimiters.

In the first line of the script I put the .edf file (my file is called Pseudo.edf) in like this: function [hdr, record] = edfread('Pseudo.edf', varargin)

Could someone please tell me what I do wrong/where the error might be coming from?

Leave the first line of the function in the declaration as the following:

function [hdr, record] = edfread(fname, varargin)

When you call the function, call it with the name of your file as input.

[hdr, record] = edfread('Pseudo.edf'

Follow the file name with nothing but the closing parenthesis, the 'assignToVariables' name/value pair, and/or the 'targetSignals' name/value pair as shown in the examples in the edfread.m help text.

Edit: It worked, thank you very much!
