Hi,
I know this is a very elementary question, but I am trying to use fileparts() in a function to find if an xls spreadsheet exists before pasting a figure into it.
From my understanding, you should ender fileparts(fileSpec) where fileSpec is the name of the file you are looking for.
When I do this though, I either get the error:
??? Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.
or:
??? Undefined function or variable 'fileSpec'.
Can someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Ashleigh

FILEPARTS is not appropriate, use XLSFINFO instead.

You are failing to quote your strings.
