TS_GetIDs returns brace indexing error

[LJGz]

Hi Ben,

I get this error when trying to GetIds of a part of name from the Operations.Name table.

When I leave the 'Name' flag out it searches the keywords field and it works fine.

>> OperationIDs = TS_GetIDs('mystring', myFile, 'ops', 'Name');
Loading data from....mat... Done.
Brace indexing is not supported for variables of this type.

Error in TS_GetIDs (line 114)
            cmatch = find(contains(theDataTable.Name,theMatchString{i}));

However it works when I use 'contains' below (partially copying the method used in keywords). I'm not sure the reason for the loop in Name using cmatch?

    case {'name','Name'}
        % The cell of comma-delimited keyword strings:
        theKeywordCell = theDataTable.Name;

        % Find objects with a keyword that matches the input string:
        matches = find(contains(theKeywordCell, theMatchString));

        % Return the IDs of the matches:
        IDs = theDataTable.ID(matches);

        % Check for empty:
        if isempty(IDs)
            warning('No matches to ''%s'' found in %s',theMatchString,theDataFile)
        end

I seems that 'Name' mode (which @olivercliff added) assumes a cell of strings, so it fails when you input a string (the name theMatchString is deceptive due to the double-use of this input with 'Keyword' mode, as originally intended.
Hopefully the latest commit fixes this: 4056ea7

It still isn't working for me. It returns the error

Error using TS_GetIDs (line 119)
One output argument (IDs) required for 'Name' input.

I guessed that it might be the switch should be 0 on assert(nargout == 1,'One output argument (IDs) required for ''Name'' input.')
Changing it to 0 resulted in

Warning: No matches to the 1 input strings found in D:\myfile
> In TS_GetIDs (line 140) 

I tried it both with the examples given

line 127 cmatch = find(strcmp(theDataTable.Name,theMatchString{i})); compares strings, however I if they are not an exact it will return empty. The only way to get a result is if theMatchString{i} is exactly the same not as per the example 'length'.

Sorry I don't know how to re-open an issue.

When the 'Name' option is set, that function only allows one output. Do you have more than one?

[LJGz]

Yes I do. I was hoping to filter everything with a particular keyword that exists within the string that within the Name string.

[olivercliff]

That should be fine. Output one argument (only), which will return this list
