Hi

This is what the error says:

In your script in line 75, you are trying to load "templates". You also have a directory called "templates". This confuses matlab, which tells you that it cannot "load" a directory.

Try to include the file extension when you call "load", i.e.

load('templates.txt')

or whatever it is you are loading.

I would generally suggest to use more expressive names for files and functions in Matlab than "main" or "templates". Unless you keep adding and removing files from the matlab path, this is bound to give you conflicts.

Try this:

Create two files.

File 1: file_loading_test.m with the following content:

filename = 'data_testfile.txt';
A = load(filename)

File 2: data_testfile.txt with the following content:

1 2 3

Make sure you are in the same folder as the two files, then run the "file_loading_test.m" script.
