Hello,
I recently installed R2013b. Ever since I get the following error (see image). This happens whichever way I try to open the file (while matlab is off, within matlab, even typing edit won't work). Another thing I tried, I opened a script with notepadc++, copy-pasted to a new script in matlab, everything runs properly, save it, close it, reopen it and still get the error. Do you have any clue how can I get rid of this nuisance?
Thank you

Do you have a space in your m-file's name? Can you paste line 167 here or attach your m and fig files?

If you want more advice, please give your new line 167 that shows how you are doing it now and still getting a warning/error.

Hello Yiannis,
I had the same Problem that is shown by the Error-Dialog. The error affected both, the open('...') command as well as the double-click uiopen(). The problem was caused by an *.slx file in the current working directory. The file's name was open.slx and shadowed the internal open-function open() and as it is used as a subroutine of uiopen (guess so) also caused problems with uiopen(). Deleting the file and restarting Matlab (do not know why this is necessary, but deleting only did not help) fixed the problem.
Best regards, Philipp

What are .SLX files? Are they executable files like m-files and p-files?

.slx files are Simulink models. They are considered executable. They are #3 in the priority list; see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/function-precedence-order.html
