MATLAB: How to run a .p file

Question

I created a .p file from a .m file. However, when I click on open in the toolbar of the command window, error occurs ,saying that: Error using => open at 146 .M file associated with file_name not found.

Also, when I click on the .p file in the folder, the MATLAB command window opens but the file is not executed. I have to type filename.p explicitly in the command window again to run the file. Even then I get the error saying

???Attempt to reference field of non-structure array

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Start if from the command line without the .p (or .m). Call it the same way you would have called the corresponding .m

For example,

timestwo(17)

would be the syntax no matter if you are using timestwo.m or timestwo.p
