Will make and commit test script soon. Four cases: selecting 0 trials with logical/numeric indexing, using _old or _new. _old fails both with logical and numeric indexing, _new fails only with numeric indexing.

Added test script. bash-4.1$ svn commit test/test_bug2394.m Adding test/test_bug2394.m Transmitting file data . Committed revision 8873.

I am in the process of deprecating ft_selectdata_old, so the discrepancy between the two will become irrelevant, and I don't want to spend time in updating ft_selectdata_old. How do you numerically index zero trials?


Eelke Spaak - 2013-11-28 11:32:03 +0100

(In reply to comment #2) Agreed, we can forget about _old. It's just that I encountered the bug while using that one (but have now switched to _new). I also started out with logical indexing (finding the bug). Then I switched to numerical indexing, simply by wrapping the logical with a find() before passing on to ft_selectdata. This as the introduction to: numerically indexing 0 trials would be passing []. Reopening as _new fails in this case.


Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen - 2013-11-28 11:36:22 +0100

what's the datatype in the input? For me it works, but I can imagine that it does not work for 'raw', because I forgot to commit a change to selfromraw (just did so in r.8874). Could you close the bug if it now works?


Eelke Spaak - 2013-11-28 11:38:56 +0100

Yep, works now. I will change the test script to only check _new, and add an error to _old in case someone specifies [] or false(N,1), just to be sure no one gets weird results (it gave me a hard time for a few hours :) ).


Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen - 2013-11-28 11:44:56 +0100

Sorry about that. This whole selectdata business has given me headaches for a bit longer than a few hours, and I'd like to get it over with indeed.
