MATLAB: Open and run a .m in matlab into an another .m file

commanddirectoryexecutefilesm-fileMATLABrun

Hello,

I have a quastion about a code I am creating. I have a code in a .m file, let's name it as "first.m". But in the "first.m" i would like to write a command in this script in which I would like to run and execute an another .m file, let's name it "second.m" file, in the ssame directory.

Could anyone help me to make it?

Inside first.m code a line

second;       %invokes second.m

This will work provided that second.m is on your MATLAB path (such as being in the same directory). If it is not on your MATLAB path and it is a script (rather than a function) then you can use

run('appropriate/directory/goes/here/second.m')

1. Check from command History of matlab.

2. In all that files, open and put command "disp('filename')". so that it will display in the filename in command window.

You can only use that syntax if the first line of the file second.m (that is not whitespace or all comments) starts with the keyword "function", such as

function [p,q] = second(m,n)

If second.m does not start with "function" then it is called a "script". Scripts cannot be passed parameters and cannot return values. Scripts do not have dummy parameter names like functions do. On the other hand, scripts have access to all of the variables of the function that starts them, and can read and write to those variables directly.
