Hi all,

I have a really basic problem, but I don't find any solution...
I am doing a function in which you can put 2 arguments 'files' and 'options', but 'options' is not compulsory.
So I want to test its existence, and if the user didn't set any options, so I have to give the default value to 'options'.
Here is my code:

[code]
if exist(options,'var') && strcmp(options.denoised.state, 1)
if ~isfield(options.denoised,'threshold')
options.denoised.threshold = 'heursure';
end
if ~isfield(options.denoised,'wname')
options.denoised.wname = 'sym8';
end
if ~isfield(options.denoised,'level')
options.denoised.level = 5;
end
else
options.denoised.state = 0; % Bool: Denoise signal or not?
options.denoised.threshold = 'heursure'; % Can be: rigrsure, heursure, sqtwolog, minimaxi
options.denoised.wname = 'sym8'; % Many different names: see wfilters()
options.denoised.level = 5; % Level
end
[/code]

But when I run it, Matlab says me: "??? Undefined function or variable 'options'." !!!
That's wired, isn't it ?!?


Thank you for you help!

You want the EXIST call to use the _name_ of the variable to be tested, not
the variable itself.

if exist('options', 'var') ...

You may also want to throw in an ISSTRUCT and/or ISFIELD call into the mix
to make sure that options is a struct array with a field denoised that is
itself a struct that has a field state.

You need to put ''s around the variable you're looking for. So it
should be:

if exist('options', 'var') ...

Look at help exist for more info.

OK thank to both of you for your rapidity and your efficiency!!
