MATLAB: How to do this? Pass a filename to a function

Question

I have created a function to browse a file in a gui. Now I have another function which does some calculations with the variables in the browsed file. So how do I load that file's contents in the new function?

Answer 1

In your first function you pass the filename to the new function:

results = new_function(filename);

Then in new_function you read in the data and do something with it.

function results = new_function(filename)
data = importdata(filename); % of xlsread() or csvread() or readtable() or whatever...
% Now do something with data....
