Dear Matt,
I think I've already fixed this one locally, so it should be included in
the next set of updates for SPM5.
Best regards,

Subject: Re: [SPM] SPM5 error saving batch file
I have been in correspondence with David about this issue (which I
myself
ran into the very same day), and I think I found the problem.
Line 1423 of spm_jobman.m calls the function strfind() on a cell matrix
of
strings, which in Matlab 7 is overloaded to allow the user to provide
cell
matrices of strings as input. However, in Matlab 6.5, there is no
overloading (at least in the installations that David and I use) and
strfind() is expecting only ordinary strings as input, hence this error.
I think simply replacing "strfind" with "regexp" on this line (no
changes to
inputs/outputs needed) will solve this backwards compatibility issue
with no
untoward side effects that I can foresee. I've made this modification on
my
own copy of SPM5 and it seems to work fine.
Perhaps if The Powers That Be deem this an adequate fix, it can be
included
in the next batch of updates?
Cheers,
Matt
