this affects the following functions ft_definetrial statistics_analytic statistics_montecarlo private/prepare_design (is this still in use?) statistics_stats (should be removed anyway)

ft_databrowser

Committed revision 3495 with % provide support for xxx and trialfun_xxx when the user specifies cfg.trialfun=xxx if exist(cfg.trialfun, 'file') % evaluate this function, this is the default elseif exist(['trialfun_' cfg.trialfun], 'file') % prepend trialfun to the function name cfg.trialfun = ['trialfun_' cfg.trialfun]; else error('cannot locate the specified trialfun (%s)', cfg.trialfun) end

There is now (rev 6327 onwards) a utilities/ft_getuserfun function that attempts to fetch a function based on user-specified input. It will always return a function handle, and supports either a function handle or a string as input. Also a prefix (e.g. 'trialfun') is supported; and always 'ft_' as an additional prefix will be tested as well. Done: ft_definetrial ft_statistics_analytic ft_statistics_montecarlo To do: ft_databrowser Unsure: private/prepare_design ft_statistics_stats Both the 'Unsure' functions never try to fetch a function (i.e. statfun) based on a specified string, so I don't think this bug applies to them. And, it seems that the code is pretty much legacy anyway.

Fixed in ft_databrowser as well (rev 6331, see lines 467-473 for relevant code).

please move utilities/ft_getuserfun to private/ft_getuserfun (and when needed to other private directories). It is not a function that should be called by normal users and therefore not an end-user utility.
