MATLAB: How to move function code to a new file

Question

I am new to Matlab.

I have a script that computes a TIF file. I wanted to add a function to scale the TIF file. I mistakenly added the function code to the top of the script. Matlab complained that the function name did not agree with the file name. I cut the function code and pasted it into a new script file. I then changed the name of the new script file to agree with the function name. I now have two mlx files in the current folder, one for the script and one for the function.

I cannot run the script. The problem is that Matlab continues to insist that the function name and the file name do not agree and function is known by the name of the script file. Removing the function code and moving it to a new file does not seem to be sufficient.

How do I get Matlab to recognize the function is in a new file, and the file name and function name now agree?

How do I get Matlab to run the script file rather than insist that it is the function file?

Answer 1

As noted in the comment above, based on Cris LaPierre's suggestion, restarting Matlab worked.

That does not seem to be a good explanation for what happened, but at least it worked.
