I am new to HDF5 file format and there is a file I want to open. I simply followed what is given by mathworks example:
hinfo = hdf5info('example.h5');
dset = hdf5read(hinfo.GroupHierarchy.Groups(2).Datasets(1));
But MATLAB returned the following message: Improper index matrix reference.
Improper index matrix reference.
Error in HDF5_reader (line 8)
dset = hdf5read(hinfo.GroupHierarchy.Groups(2).Datasets(1));
So what was the problem?

what is returned by hinfo? do you have 2 groups with a data channel in the second group?

The problem is I got this file from someone else and as I mentioned I am not very familiar with this file format. That's why I don't even know what are contained in this file, what are the name of variables stored there.

after to get hinfo, stop and see what is in that structure. It will list the group and dataset hiearchy.
