Calling a .m file based on user selection

Hi all,

I have a GUI with a dropdown menu that is populated by a number of .m files in a directory, in a folder in the program root folder. When the user makes a selection, it is stored as a variable, 'circ'.

I have been using the run command, to run this .m file, but I am wanting to compile the program, and have found (I think) that the run command/function is not compatible with compiling.

run(fullfile('D:\Dropbox\PROGRAM\Trx', circ))

How can I do this differently?

Ordinarily I would just call it e.g.

Trx1

But because I need it to be based on user selection I created a directory, and used the run function.

Thanks,

Matt

Compiled code can only invoke pre-compiled files, not user selected .m at run-time. Compiled code does not have a MATLAB interpreter.

Thanks - based on this and some other recent questions I have revamped my program to save and load data from .mat files instead of .m files.

Now I no longer need to use the run command and my data handling is much better.
