Hello! I would like to create an app that would promt a user to select a file from thier computer and then run code that I have already created. I know I need to use app designer but I do not understand which component to select to prompt the user to select and file and then on the back end how to apply my function. Any help is appreciated!

You can use any action UI control button in app designer, suppose mostly used one is push button. In the respective UI control call back write your code as

[flname, pt] = uigetfile('*.m', 'Select the m file');
run([pt, flname])

Hi,

I suggest using 'SelectionChangedFcn' callback. This is notified whenever a state button(zoom/pan) is clicked, and you can know which button is clicked. You can also write your custom MATLAB code in the callback associated.

Refer the documentation link for more details:

MATLAB: Calling/Running a .m File via Another Function

run is defined for scripts, not for functions. Are you talking of scripts?

You forgot the path of the file.

[FileName, PathName] = uigetfile('*.m', 'Select Run File');
if ~ischar(FileName)  % Give the user a chance to cancel
  return;
end
% If you are really talking about scripts:
run(fullfile(PathName, FileName));
