Hi guys
In my project, one of the functions needs to use "dir". It gives me the following error: Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
However, the "dir" works well outside of my project.
I beg you guys' suggestions.
Thanks,

test = dir('C:\myproject\UAIS\data\binaryKinectDataOfUAIS\zhong\view1\rgb\*.bin');
Both in the project and out the project.

When you run that line in MATLAB Command Window, what did you get?

It means inside the function you defined a variable as dir.
dbstop if error
Now run your function, it'll blow up
who dir %dir will be a variable

I faced the same issue. i've updated the code but it still gives the error. There is no variable named dir now. Is there anything in matlab to clear cache or something of those sorts to get it working?

@Vishnu Narang: clear dir or restart MATLAB. And don't use the names of inbuilt MATLAB functions!
