[FieldTrip] Fwd: ft_definetrial crash

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Hi Tobias,

I forward your question to the discussion list, so that many may benefit from the discussion. I am not sure what is going on and I don't know whether other people have encountered this. Are you calling the function from the correct directory? In other words, you should not be within the *.ds directory itself. 
You could also try to explicitly define cfg.datafile and cfg.headerfile (and omit the cfg.dataset).

Let me know when the problem persists.

Best wishes,

Jan-Mathijs

> It recognises correctly that it's supposed to read the header from  S01_01.ds/S01_01.res, but it then tells me that it can't find the file S01_01.meg4 (which is true, because it should be S01_01.ds/S01_01.meg4). I presume this is a pretty common error, but it occurs with two FieldTrip versions that I have downloaded (very recent ones). I am probably missing something very obvious...
