[Eeglablist] Biosemi 32 channel .loc file request

[mahsa shalchy]

Dear Tarik and experts,

The thing is my locations seem to work fine just before saving them as
*.ced file. Also, as I try to save them as other types (loc,...) I'm
getting the following error:

Cell contents reference from a non-cell array object.
Error in inputgui>outstruct (line 257)
    else                  currentobj = allobj{index};
Error in inputgui (line 198)
    instruct = outstruct(allobj); % Getting default values
    in the GUI.
Error in pop_writelocs (line 148)
   res = inputgui(geometry, listui,
   'pophelp(''writelocs'');', ...
Error in pop_chanedit (line 696)
                com = pop_writelocs(chans);
Error using waitfor
Error while evaluating UIControl Callback


I would be grateful if someone could help me with this problem.

Many thanks,
Mahsa
