[Eeglablist] Script Writing - cell of string vs char

[Shiri Spitz]

Hi Nicholas,

No idea if this addresses your underlying issue, but as a sort of bandaid
to your problem you might get away with just casting your cell array as a
matrix, e.g.,
svPath = cell2mat({'C:/some_other_location/eeg_otherData.set'})

Best of luck!
