I want to read 2 nc files which containing soil moisture as variable, but when readin the given code ,it showing some error

file1= 'path of the file1' 
file2='path of file2' 
sm= ncread(file1,'sm') ;
sm=ncread (file2,'sm') ;

[Walter Roberson]

What error do you observe?

[Jincy]

Its just showing error in sm=ncread(file1)

[Walter Roberson]

It does not say anything like "Subscript out of range", or "unknown function or variable ncread"?

[Walter Roberson]

Which MATLAB release are you using? ncread() needs R2011a or later.

[Jincy]

2022

[Walter Roberson]

Is the error message being shown at the call to ncread(), such as

Unrecognized function or variable 'ncread'.

or is the error message being created inside ncread(), such as a message about the file not being readable?

Please show the exact error message(s)

[Jincy]

Unrecognised function

[Walter Roberson]

As far as I can tell, ncread is part of basic MATLAB in R2022a, so you should not be told that it is unrecognized.

Exception: if you just happened to have named a variable ncread somewhere inside the function, then even if the variable had been clear or had not been initialized yet, MATLAB would decide that ncread is not a function reference inside the function.

If you are not using ncread as a variable somewhere inside the function, then try

rehash toolboxcache

Also please show us the result for

which -all ncread

file1= 'path of the file1' ; % path with ame of file 
file2='path of file2' ; % path with name of file 
sm1= ncread(file1,'sm') ;
sm2=ncread (file2,'sm') ;
