uigetfile Multiselect - online Matlab R2020b

Hello,

I have started using online Matlab R2020b. I am having difficulty selecting multiple files using uigetfile. I simply try the code from uigetfile help:

[file,path] = uigetfile('*.m','Select One or More Files','MultiSelect', 'on');

But I then get the error:

Index exceeds the number of array elements (0).

Error in matlab.ui.internal.dialog.FileChooser/updateFromDialog (line 215)

obj.PathName = filepaths{1};

Error in matlab.ui.internal.dialog.FileChooser/prepareDialog/localupdate (line 95)

updateFromDialog(obj,updateDataObject(obj));

I can successfully select a single file without the multiselect option. Can anyone help me solve this?

I am trying to get some old 2010b code working in online R2020b but cannot work out why this is a problem.

Hi Joan

This is a bug in MATLAB Online. Our developers are aware of it and are working on fixing it for a future MATLAB Online release.

Currently we do not have a workaround.
