Error BST> Loading current protocol

Dear BST team,

BST worked well until this morning, I got an error while starting to launch BST

I tried to delete brainstorm and then dowload it again but it didn't resolve my problem.

I use Matlab R2021a on Windows 10 and the brainstorm version is : 17-Oct-2023

You can see below the error I get

brainstorm

Error in bst_startup (line 626)

Thank you in advance for your help,

Hi @VincentDornier

Have you installed other Matlab toolboxes?

If so, can you remove the latest changes on your Matlab path and try again?

Hello,

Thank you for your reply !

Yes I have installed other Matlab tooloboxes (fieldtrip for example), I remove all the changes on my matlab path but I still have the same error .

We cannot replicate such error in our side.

  • Did posted the entire error message?

  • Check which regexprep is being used. In the Matlab Command Window:
    which('regexprep', 'all')
    it should only be the built-in function, something similar to:
    built-in (MATLABROOT/toolbox/matlab/strfun/regexprep)
