Changing directories in the middle of a GUI function

Hello,

I need to change directories in the middle of a GUI function do a directory a short distance away to run a function and then move back to the origonal directory the gui is running in. Will this cause any hiccups?

I suggest to use run function instead of change directory.

But if you want to change the directory, here is a code:

orgDir = pwd;
cd(DifferentDirectory)
% do something...
cd(orgDir)

I would but the designer decided to use a .mat file that has the same name but different data for three different programs. I have no idea why he did that but it's on me to get it working.
