Error in matlab.int​ernal.doc.​csh.DocPag​eTopicMap/​parseTopic​Path

Hello everyone,

Each time when I run a simple function, I get this error and I cannot simply "dbquit" to continue debugging my code because it gives thousands of error message windows such as DocPageTopicMap. How can I solve this issue?

I have seen that there could be some installation issue. just fyi: I have MatlabR2022a which I use inside MATLAB folder. Also R2023a in MATLAB Runtime folder.

Thanks for your comments,

Likely you've written your own split.m function that takes precedence over the split function included in MATLAB. What does this command display?

which -all split

/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/strfun/split.m
split is a built-in method                                                   % string method
split is a Java method                                                       % java.lang.String method
/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/bigdata/@tall/split.m                                 % tall method
/MATLAB/toolbox/matlab/datatypes/calendarDuration/@calendarDuration/split.m  % calendarDuration method
/MATLAB/toolbox/wavelet/wavelet/@dtree/split.m                               % dtree method
/MATLAB/toolbox/wavelet/wavelet/@wdectree/split.m                            % wdectree method
/MATLAB/toolbox/wavelet/wavelet/@wptree/split.m                              % wptree method

If it displays your function, rename your split.m to something else.
