How to have user input for a m-file with in a separate script?

Hello, I am fairly new to MATLAB and was wondering what commands i need to have a user input the name of a m-file within a separate script. I need the user to specify the name and have the main script search and subsequently launch the user specified scrip. This main script is basically a Gui interface. My code looks as follows: -----

if true

cinit %sets path of the location of separate m-files

who

%following sets main variables

cdata= input('cdata= ');

time= input('time= ');

cdata(1,:)=time;

%searching for the user specified fit

fit= input('what is the name of the fit you would like?: ','s');

if strcmpi(fit,'expfit2')

expfit2 %example of a custom fit in my path

end

end

The problem that I am having is that I have hundreds of possible custom fits in my path that I would like to be able to be to look up, and writing an if/else statements does not seem like the best approach.

Figured it out, I just need to have the command

if true
  *run(fit)* 
end

which searches for the string specified in the var, fit.
