What error message are you observing?

[Rik]

I though you had copied the code on mobile and that is why your question lacks formatting. But no, you simply dumped this block of unformatted code here, expecting us to sort it out. Please do that first yourself.

Have a read here and here. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.

Please stop using inline. Use anonymous functions (potentially in conjunction with str2func) instead.
