Pointing to functions and files outside of the current matlab folder

Hi,
I was wondering, is a way to point to specific folders that might contain functions or input data files that are outside of the current matlab working folder?
For example lets say I am working with a program in the folder C:/matlab/main
can I make matlab run a function within that same program if the function is located in some other folder such as in C:/matlab/main/functions ?
Thank you, Nikolay Rodionov

You can add the other folder to your MATLAB path. Invoke pathtool if you want a graphic interface to set the MATLAB path.

It depends of the function that you are trying to import (you might need a different command like 'run' instead of 'importdata' here) but basically you run it normally and you give it the path:
D=importdata('C:/matlab/main/functions/D.dat')
I hope it helps,
Robert.
