An error occurred while trying to determine whether "readData" is a function name.

I've recently downloaded matlab2018 and I'm expriencing a reoccuring problem:

I tried to run the matlab example:

openExample('nnet/TrainABasicConvolutionalNeuralNetworkForClassificationExample')

I got an errror:

Error using trainNetwork (line 150)
An error occurred while trying to determine whether "readData" is a function name.

the same happened when I tried to execute:

openExample('deeplearning_shared/ClassifyTextDataUsingDeepLearningExample')

I got an error:

Error using readtable (line 216)
An error occurred while trying to determine whether "readData" is a function name.

Note: readtable detected the following parameters:

'Delimiter', ',', 'HeaderLines', , 'ReadVariableNames', true, 'Format', ''

I had similar issue

renaming /usr/local/MATLAB/R2018a/examples/dsp/readData.slx to something else and restarting matlab helped me.

thank you for the answer, but this happens on other function as well, like 'which' for example
