directory

Help me to access folder in the parent directory. suppose I have 2 folders
 E:\Bless\Project\LEARNING\myFolder\var.mat
 E:\Bless\Project\TESTING\myPgm.m
I have to load a variable from the folder "myFolder" througn the myPgm.m program. Now I specify the entire path in
 load "E:\Bless\Project\LEARNING\myFolder\var"
Is there any simple way to specify the path of var.mat?

Best Answer

If you are in: E:\Bless\Project\TESTING\
You can try the following without using the absolute path:
load('..\LEARNING\myFolder\var.mat')
If the folders are in the path then you can do the following:
>> load(which('var.mat'))
