Brace indexing not supported for this type of variable - error message, attached code, please support in resolving this issue

global new_files_all

Yeah i can see the issue but my file will not have a variable named load_file since it's being directly exported from a data source i have externally which will only have certain input variable names

@Kavinprasad M: it is worth getting into the habit of writing more robust code, as Steven Lord recommends: the more you write it, the easier it becomes. And although you state that you are "certain" that the source only uses certain variable names, we get many many questions on this forum where the OP is "certain" of one thing or another... which turn out to be not true. The advice Steven Lord gave helps when the data is not as expected, as well as improving efficiency during its nominal/expected operation. Making code work is great... now you can upgrade your skills by controlling under what circumstances it will work and how it behaves when something unexpected happens. It will likely be more efficient to boot.

I second Steven Lord's recommendation: knowing how to write robust MATLAB code is definitely worth learning.

Error message like this one: "Brace indexing not supported for this type of variable" appears mainly when curly braces "{}" are used for indexing instead of parantheses "()".

Looking at your code, I believe the issue is happeneing because of lines like this one:

sname = extractBefore(load_file{i},'_');

Try using parantheses as follows:

sname = extractBefore(load_file(i),'_');

Similarly, try to check your whole code once and replace all instances where you have used "{}" for indexing with "()".

I think this is closer to what you want. It has many improvements. I'm not sure what you want with that sname stuff so there still may be errors.

global new_files_all
% Get a file specification.
folder = pwd; % Wherever you want.
filePattern = fullfile(folder, '*.mat');
% Ask user to select files.
[baseFileNames, folder] = uigetfile(filePattern,'File load','MultiSelect', 'on');
if folder == 0
    fprintf('You clicked Cancel.\n');
    return; % User clicked cancel.
end
numberOfFiles = numel(baseFileNames)
new_files_all = cell(numberOfFiles, 1);
old_sname=extractBefore(folder(1),'_'); % Not sure what this is for.
for k = 1 : numberOfFiles
    thisFileName = fullfile(folder, baseFileNames{k});
    fprintf('Processing %s (#%d of %d)\n', thisFileName, k, numberOfFiles);
    sname = extractBefore(thisFileName,'_');
    if k==1
        load(thisFileName);
        time=shdf.Absc1Data;
        noise=shdf.Data(1,:);
        rpm=shdf.Data(2,:);
        snumber=1;
        old_sname = sname;
    elseif (k>=2)
        if  snumber == 1 && strcmp(old_sname, sname)
            load(thisFileName);
            time=shdf.Absc1Data;
            noise=shdf.Data(1,:);
            rpm=shdf.Data(2,:);
            snumber=1;
        elseif snumber >= 1 && strcmp(old_sname, sname)
            load(thisFileName);
            time=shdf.Absc1Data;
            noise=shdf.Data(1,:);
            rpm=shdf.Data(2,:);
            snumber=snumber;
            old_sname = sname;
        elseif snumber >= 1 && ~strcmp(old_sname, sname)
            load(thisFileName);
            time=shdf.Absc1Data;
            noise=shdf.Data(1,:);
            rpm=shdf.Data(2,:);
            snumber=snumber+1;
            old_sname = sname;
        end
    end
    new_files{k} = thisFileName;
end
