Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object

hi im running this function like this, but there was an error, anyone can help?

>> DBFBA(model,10,'EX_succ(e)','Ex_glc(e)',10)

Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.

Error in DBFBA (line 35)
    if(~ ismember(list{i}, model.rxns)),  rxnok = 0; end

here i attached the full coding of the function. i really hope that someone can help me run this function without errors.

You are calling the code incorrectly. Your second parameter, which you pass as 10, needs to be a cell array, each entry of which must be in the model gene list or the model reaction list (all of the entries must be the same type.)

Well, you're passing a number, 10, as the second argument to the function whereas that function is expecting a cell array.

As the function has no documentation attached, the name of the function is meaningless, and we have no idea what your inputs mean, it's difficult to tell you how to fix it short of: Pass the correct arguments to the function.

If you are the author of the function (or know the author), I would also encourage you to rewrite it so it does not use globals and divide it into subfunctions. This is not a well written function.
