This statement is not inside any function. (It follows the END that terminates the definition of the function "my_loadxcat_full".)

Could you please help with explanation. Thank you in advance.

I am trying to pass a file (my_nurbs_data.txt) to my_loadxcat_full.m from my_nurbs_test.m, but I keep getting this ERROR!

Error: File: my_loadxcat_full.m Line: 16 Column: 1

This statement is not inside any function.

(It follows the END that terminates the definition of the function "my_loadxcat_full".)

Error in my_nurbs_test (line 5)

model = my_loadxcat_full('my_nurbs_data.txt');

my_nurbs_test.m

addpath('C:\Users\e_m20\MatLab_files');
% pass the file data to the loadxcat function 
model = my_loadxcat_full('my_nurbs_data.txt');

my_loadxcat_full.m

function model = my_loadxcat_full(filename)
    p=3;
    fid =fopen(filename,'r');
    name = fscanf(fid, '%s',1);
    material = fscanf(fid, '%f',1);
    composition = fscanf(fid, '%f',1);
    M = fscanf(fid, '%f',inf);
    N = fscanf(fid, '%f',inf);
    uknots = fscanf(fid,['%f\n'],[1 N+p+1]);
    vknots = fscanf(fid,['%f\n'],[1 M+p+1]);
end
fclose(fid);

Your last line is out of the function, you need to put it inside:

function model = my_loadxcat_full(filename)
    p=3;
    fid =fopen(filename,'r');
    name = fscanf(fid, '%s',1);
    material = fscanf(fid, '%f',1);
    composition = fscanf(fid, '%f',1);
    M = fscanf(fid, '%f',inf);
    N = fscanf(fid, '%f',inf);
    uknots = fscanf(fid,['%f\n'],[1 N+p+1]);
    vknots = fscanf(fid,['%f\n'],[1 M+p+1]);
    fclose(fid);
end
