I have a GUI window with only two push buttons. Upon clicking the first, the callback will generate a uidir to select a folder from which to work. Then the file will be reformatted and saved as a collection of smaller files. This works well. The other pushbutton is simply intended to close this current window and open another. The problem is that when I open the figure and press pushbutton one i get the following error:
Undefined function 'Window_one' for input arguments of type 'char'.
Error in @(hObject,eventdata)Window_one('pushbutton1_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))
Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback
I have not used the handles structure in this window as there are no variable shared between callbacks and there is no figure to update. In my experience a shortage of or mistake in the declaration of handles is the reason for this error so I am slightly confused as to what the error might be caused by. Does anyone have any idea what may cause this error to arise? There are no cases on Mathworks answers of this having arisen in the same scenario with the error occurring with a GUI window.
I have attached the code along with this question

"Undefined function for input arguments of type 'char'"
One of the possible reason for such error is if your file name contain white spaces.
Eg: window one.m is not valid instead window_one.m is valid.
This can be found be commenting all your routine and just empty file. Still error is thrown then its sure file name or directory where it exist not correct.
If not then one of your routine maybe not having function definition

Thank you Muthukumar Gopalsamy. I had spaces in file name that's why it was not working.

You have posted the code of the function Window_one. The error message shows, that the file "Windows_one.m" cannot be found. Has the code been saved to this file? Is there a typo in the file name? Is the file contained in one of the folders of your Matlab path?

You were correct about the path. I had moved the figure into a folder of its own. Now there is another smattering of errors

Is this likely due to issues with save paths and directories as well_ If so this is going to be a major problem as I have files that need to be taken from several folders

@Aaron: The error message is clear: The variable "myFile" has not been created before.

I assume the callback itself is defined in the associated GUI figure.
One possibility is that by the time the callback is called, the current directory has been changed (with cd or through matlab gui) so your Window_one gui function is no longer on the path.

I'm also facing the same issue. If not by full path, how are we supposed to do the same?

You can either cd to that folder, or use the run function.

You forgot to ask a question and you posted this as an answer. Anyway, you probably mean xlabel instead of xlable.

You need the Signal Processing Toolbox, R2014a or later.
