Function is not defined for 'cell' inputs

Please help me. This is my code but i have a problem

??? Error using ==> sprintf Function is not defined for 'cell' inputs.

clear; close all; clc;

DirName='C:\Matlab';

Organ={'Colon'}; Mag={'10x'}; TimePt={'3hr'}; MouseNum=[1]; SampleNum=[1];

%fid=fopen('results.csv','w'); %fprintf(fid,'Organ;Time Point;Mouse Number;Site;GFP_Total_G;GFP_Total_R;Cy3_Total;Tissue_Pixels\r');

load corectimage;

% Create filename and open the images if strcmp(Organ,'Colon') FileNameG=sprintf('%s\\%s\\%s\\%s\\M%d-E1-I800-G-%d.tif',DirName,Organ,TimePt, Mag, MouseNum, SampleNum); imG=imread(FileNameG,'TIFF'); FileNameC=sprintf('%s\\%s\\%s\\%s\\M%d-E1-I800-C-%d.tif',DirName,Organ,TimePt, Mag, MouseNum, SampleNum); imC=imread(FileNameC,'TIFF'); else FileNameG=sprintf('%s\\%s\\%s\\M%d-E1-I800-G-%d.tif',DirName,Organ,TimePt, MouseNum, SampleNum); imG=imread(FileNameG,'TIFF'); FileNameC=sprintf('%s\\%s\\%s\\M%d-E1-I800-C-%d.tif',DirName,Organ,TimePt, MouseNum, SampleNum); imC=imread(FileNameC,'TIFF'); end;

% Correct the image intensity (only for Mag=4x) if strcmp(Mag,'4x') imG=double(imG); imC=double(imC); load(sprintf('%s\\corectimage.mat',DirName)); imG(:,:,1)=imG(:,:,1).*imXG; imG(:,:,2)=imG(:,:,2).*imXG; imG(:,:,3)=imG(:,:,3).*imXG; imC(:,:,1)=imC(:,:,1).*imXC; imC(:,:,2)=imC(:,:,2).*imXC; imC(:,:,3)=imC(:,:,3).*imXC; imG=uint8(imG); imC=uint8(imC); end;

imshow(imG);

%fclose(fid);

Hi, i met the same error. Could you please tell me how to address this error? Thank you very much!

@YS

At some point in your code, you have an sprintf() that attempts to format a cell array. You need to change that so that it attempts to format the content of the cell array.

For example, instead of attempting to format cell_Var(i) instead format cell_Var{i}

thank you! it works!

That's correct; either use

sprintf(fmtstring,char(cellVar(i)))

or be sure to dereference the cell by using the curly braces --

sprintf(fmtstring, cell_Var{i})

ok thank u. I will try it
