MATLAB: No file or directory error when trying to read in an edf file

Question

When trying to read in an edf file with this code:

%Get the edf file
edf_name = uigetfile('*.edf') ;
string_compare = strcmp(strsplit(inputfile,'.'),strsplit(edf_name,'.'));
[info, data] = edfread(edf_name);

I receive the following error:

Error using edfread (line 125)
No such file or directory
Error in StimulusTestNew (line 29)
[info, data] = edfread(edf_name);

And these are the first lines of edfread:

function [hdr, record] = edfread(fname, varargin)
if nargin > 5
    error('EDFREAD: Too many input arguments.');
end
if ~nargin
    error('EDFREAD: Requires at least one input argument (filename to read).');
end
[fid,msg] = fopen(fname,'r');
if fid == -1
    error(msg)          %% this is line 125
end

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Please check the working directory, ensure that edf file present in the current working directory
