I receive an error about closing a MAT file. Why?

Hi

I am using Matlab 2016b. I am using the following command:

 L=matfile(sprintf(lb_formatSpec,ix),'writable',true);
 L.image=lb_Vol(:,:,ix);

To save in a mat file but I am getting the following error:

Error closing file
C:\Users\user\Desktop\Data_Preparation\labels-006-068.mat.

In this link, it is said data can be saved in version -v7.3. My question is how can I save my mat files with this version by using matfile() function ??

Your help is appreciated.

Unless there is a specific reason you are using the matfile function, the best option is to use the save function, at least to initially create the ‘.mat’ file. That allows you to specify the version. You can then use matfile for subsequent access to it.

@Star Strider Thanks for your response,

Is there any other way to solve this error if I use matfile() function?

I cannot save as ".mat" file since I need to use some fields of "matfile()"

My pleasure.

‘Is there any other way to solve this error if I use matfile() function?’

Not that I can find in the documentation.

The matfile function may not be your best option. See the documentation for load to see if it will do what you want.
