how to open an .m file with a dialog box

Hi, is it possible to open a file from a dialog box as if you were calling from the command window? Specifically, I need to load some variables to use in a GUI from an .m file in a specific directory. I'm going crazy!

[Adam]

Variables are generally stored in a .mat file not a .m file. Is that what you mean?

Or do you mean you wish to open a .m file containing a script that will create some variables and you then want to use the variables that result from that?

I wish to open a .m file containing a script (a=1; b=2; ...); I declared all the variables in the file as global, so I can use it in other functions

[Adam]

Why don't you just have your script save the variables in a .mat file then you can load that wherever you want?

Answer 1

[Sean de Wolski]

open foo.m

Or

edit foo.m

[Alessandro Sardelli]

using open command or edit command ins't helpful;infact in this way it opens the file in the editor and don't save all the variables in the workspace

[Sean de Wolski]

Perhaps, you mean:

doc run

To run it (not "open" it).

[Alessandro Sardelli]

the command run work nice. thank you!
