Unexpected MATLAB expression in MATLAB

Please, how can I fix that? Thank you.

I want to read an stl file 'Tibiaformatlab' into matlab

function [F, V, N] = read_stl_file('Tibiaformatlab.stl')

but it says "Unexpected MATLAB expression".

This line uses the function keyword, which means you are starting a function definition:

function [F, V, N] = read_stl_file('Tibiaformatlab.stl')

But for the argument to this function you use a string literal. If you really are starting a function definition, this needs to be a variable. E.g., using a variable named filename:

function [F, V, N] = read_stl_file(filename)

And then the code for the function would follow this line.

If you are trying to call this function with a particular string input, then this syntax:

[F, V, N] = read_stl_file('Tibiaformatlab.stl');
