[Eeglablist] ERPLAB BINLISTER issue - cannot query REG_NONE

[Gyurkovics, Mate]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use ERPLAB's binlister function to assign events to bins, but whenever I try to open my binlister file I get a weird error, saying "Cannot query value of type REG_NONE".

I have no idea why this might be. The error message specifically highlighted line 186 in neobinlister2() as the source of the error, so I checked out the code, and those couple of lines there did not seem to be consequential so I commented them out:

%if ispc
% userdir = winqueryreg('HKEY_CURRENT_USER',...
% ['Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\' ...
% 'Explorer\Shell Folders'],'Personal');
% %
% % Captures user login
% %
% userlogin = regexprep(userdir, '.*\', '');
% else
% userdir = char(java.lang.System.getProperty('user.home'));
%
% %
% % Captures user login
% %
% userlogin = regexprep(userdir, '.*/', '');
% end

The variable userlogin only seems to be used once in the whole function, so I commented out that line (line 242) too:

%EVENTLIST.account = userlogin;

This made the error go away, and the output seems to be what I'd expect, but I just wanted to double check with the list: is it okay to remove these lines? Could it break the function in unexpected ways? If yes, is there another way to resolve this error?

Thanks,
Mate
