Parse error in matlab2tikz

I just learned about matlab2tikz and when i tried a small example,

t=0:1e-4:1;

plot(t,sin(t));

matlab2tikz("C:\Users\user\Documents\MATLAB\src\tes1t.tex")

It threw the following error:

Error using m2tInputParser>parse

m2tInputParser: invalid input

Error in matlab2tikz (line 251)

ipp = ipp.parse(ipp, varargin{:});

I'm a beginner, and don't have much idea what the errors mean and their solution. I tried the test files in included with matlab2tikz and they gice the same error. I'm on matlab 2022b. Thanks for any help.

Hi Bell,

The error you're encountering with matlab2tikz suggests that there's an issue with how the function's arguments are being parsed. This could be due to several reasons, but it's most likely due to incorrect syntax and/or unsupported arguments type provided the path provided for the output file is correct.

Instead of string input, which you are providing, it expects a char array.

Try out the following command and most likely it will work:

matlab2tikz('C:\Users\user\Documents\MATLAB\src\tes1t.tex')

Thanks a lot! That worked out!
