How to implement "run" command with inputs

Hello

I've been trying to run a different script with a function header but I realized that I need to pass parameters as well. I would like the script name to be a variable so I cannot just type out the script name and put parenthesis to run that script. How would I go about doing this?

I have tried:

run(scriptVariable(parameter1, parameter2));

matlab -r scriptVariable(parameter1, parameter2);

But both don't work. I have also tried using eval but I couldn't insert object parameters.

Thank you

It is never possible to pass parameters with run() .

It is never possible to pass parameters to a script.

If you have the unqualified name of a function as a string, you can get a handle to the function using str2func .

If you have a path to a function (that is, including directory information) then you would have to use techniques similar to what run() does to cd into the containing directory; you could then take a handle to the function using str2func() .

Hello

Thank you for answering my question

Instead of running a script, would I be able to make an object, call its constructor and pass parameters into it? Of course, the variable containing the string to the class name would be used to call the constructor.

I found a method that works.

+mypackage/foo.m method worked for me.

Thank you for the help

Using a class is a potential solution. But I did not see any particular reason in your question why you could not just use a regular function.
