How to get a timetable and not a 1x1 struct?

Hello,

I have the newest version of Matlab2021a and I also downloaded the edfread-app as an additional app.

To plot my EEG data i need edfread to extract a timetable but somehow I always get a 1x1 struct no matter what I do. I tried the exact same code as described here but I just don't get the timetable.. What could be the reason?

Thank you very much!

I suspect you downloaded the FEX contribution edfread() https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/31900-edfread which returns a struct.

When what you want instead is the Signal Processing Toolbox function edfread() https://www.mathworks.com/help/signal/ref/edfread.html which returns a timetable.

Thank you for the answer but I checked and I had the right one so this unfortunately can't be the reason. Is there maybe any other reason for that?

No, I just looked at the code for the Signal Processing Toolbox edfread() function. There is literally no way for it to return a struct insted of a timetable.

Put a breakpoint in your code at the call to edfread(), and run to there, and then use the debugger "step in" function and see where you end up.
