How to define a function to run a particular .m file

Hi,

Probably a simple question but I can't figure it out.

I'm trying to write a kind of shell program which gives users the option to run 26 different codes.

For example, I want to define the function "indcomuse" to run the .m file "a2x1combined.m"

How would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Actually, to clarify, I want a script to run a particular .m file when the user puts in a specific command such as "indcomuse"

You can simply call a defined function inside of another function. As long as both are on the MATLAB path.

If the user passes a function name as a string, or function handle, you can use feval() to run that function

For example:

    S = 'mean';
    x = randn(10,1);
    feval(S,x)

Thanks, but I'm not sure how that fits in to what I'm doing. It probably does and I just don't see it.

I specifically want to define a function that when entered, will just run an already entirely functional (and long) script.

Create indcomuse.m that contains the line

a2x1combined
