[Eeglablist] Importing .cnt files result in undefined function or variable "e"

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Nicholas,

I never used loadcnt.m but I look into it anyway.
The variable e appears first in line 296 in this way

for n = 1:h.nchannels
    e(n).lab            = deblank(char(fread(fid,10,'char')'));
    e(n).reference      = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).skip           = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).reject         = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).display        = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).bad            = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).n              = fread(fid,1,'ushort');
    e(n).avg_reference  = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).clipadd        = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).x_coord        = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).y_coord        = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).veog_wt        = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).veog_std       = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).snr            = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).heog_wt        = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).heog_std       = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).baseline       = fread(fid,1,'short');
    e(n).filtered       = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).fsp            = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).aux1_wt        = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).aux1_std       = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).senstivity     = fread(fid,1,'float');
    e(n).gain           = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).hipass         = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).lopass         = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).page           = fread(fid,1,'uchar');
    e(n).size           = fread(fid,1,'uchar');
    e(n).impedance      = fread(fid,1,'uchar');
    e(n).physicalchnl   = fread(fid,1,'uchar');
    e(n).rectify        = fread(fid,1,'char');
    e(n).calib          = fread(fid,1,'float');
end

If this 'e' is not defined, it's possible that these lines are not
processed correctly. Which means most likely your h.nchannels is wrong. In
line 146,

h.nchannels         = fread(fid,1,'ushort');

Maybe your channel info was not read properly here?

.cnt file?

I'm not sure if it's location itself, but probably the issue is in the
number of channels.
