    James Patterson - 2019-12-03

    I'm hoping the solution to this is simple, but it is escaping me. I've just downloaded GroupICATv4.0b. I've installed it according to directions, on both Win64 and Linux64 platforms. I've installed MCR - again on both platforms. I have the full version of Matlab installed on the Windows platform.

    It matters not which platform, upon running groupica, I get the shell up, then the first UI window up, and then anything I try to do after that - specifically if I click Defaults, or I click fMRI then Setup ICA Analysis, I get:

    Error using gift('groupAnalysis_Callback',gcbo,[],guidata(gcbo))
    Error: The input character is not valid in MATLAB statements or expressions.

    Error in icatb_eval_script (line 26)

    Error in icatb_defaults (line 10)

    Error in icatb_define_parameters (line 13)

    Error in icatb_setup_analysis (line 21)

    Error in icatb_enterParametersGUI (line 17)

    Error in gift>groupAnalysis_Callback (line 87)

    Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95)

    Error in gift (line 30)

    Error while evaluating UIControl Callback

    I've researched the "invalid input character" error - it's a generic error with many causes, duplicate libraries or M files being the most common outside of formatting errors.

    I'm wondering if perhaps you may have some insight into what may be the cause? I've uninstalled/reinstalled, read the help files, tried adding GroupICA to Matlab path as per instructions - but even from matlab I get a similar error message:

    gift
    Error: File: gift.m Line: 1 Column: 25
    Invalid text character. Check for unsupported symbol, invisible character, or pasting of non-ASCII characters.

    The files downloaded fine - I re-downloaded and tried again - same thing.

    Please advise!

    James

      Hi James,

      There is icatb_defaults.m script file in the parent directory to allow users to change settings according to their analysis needs. It looks like I might have compiled the icatb_defaults.m script file in GroupICATv4.0b_standalone_Win64 directory (suffix will be linux for linux OS) along with the gift package. For now, to stop getting errors you could rename icatb_defaults.m to icatb_defaults_.m. This will let you do analysis and display components

      Thanks,
      Srinivas
