MATLAB: How to implement “run” command with inputs

Question

Hello

I've been trying to run a different script with a function header but I realized that I need to pass parameters as well. I would like the script name to be a variable so I cannot just type out the script name and put parenthesis to run that script. How would I go about doing this?

I have tried:

run(scriptVariable(parameter1, parameter2));

matlab -r scriptVariable(parameter1, parameter2);

But both don't work. I have also tried using eval but I couldn't insert object parameters.

Thank you

It is never possible to pass parameters with run() .

It is never possible to pass parameters to a script.

If you have the unqualified name of a function as a string, you can get a handle to the function using str2func .

If you have a path to a function (that is, including directory information) then you would have to use techniques similar to what run() does to cd into the containing directory; you could then take a handle to the function using str2func() .
