Creating structure using eval function - Part 2 Question

Hello

This time I will make the question more specific

Laminate  = struct('Raw', -1, 'ttm', -1, 'USD', zeros(3));
evalin('base','',Laminate,'')

Following error in matlab

??? Undefined function or method 'evalin' for input arguments of type 'struct'.

    Error in ==> Laminator_ProV>LamDetailstToWorkSpace at 1405
                   evalin('base','',Laminate,'')

    ??? Error while evaluating uimenu Callback

Can some body help me, thanks in advance

Are you sure it's 'evalin' you want to use and not 'assignin'?

Hello I tried with 'assignin'. I was not aware during that time, now I am using 'assignin'. I am satisfied, thanks

Laminate_local = struct('Raw', -1, 'ttm', -1, 'USD', zeros(3));
assignin('base', 'Laminate', Laminate_local)

I've addeded "_local" just to avoid further confusion.

Let me mention that I'd never use ASSIGNIN, EVALIN or their brothers, because they impede the debugging by letting the variables appear magically in the workspace. When these evail commands are used multiple times, it gets impossible to find out, where changes of the values are comming from. Much better, safer, cleaner, faster and nicer is transporting the variables as output of the function.
