calling a function in a script

Hi. I have defined the following function which I wish to call in a script:

function imageprocess=imselect(x);%function to select same image from each group
imagescontg=zeros(1,10);
imagescontr=zeros(1,10);
imagestreatg=zeros(1,10);
imagestreatr=zeros(1,10);

for n=x:size(imagescontg,2)
    imagecontg{1,n}=imread(sprintf('group1 g%2d.jpg',n)); %selects green image (n) from list
    imagecontr{2,n}=imread(sprintf('group1 r%2d.jpg',n)); %selects red image (n) from list
    a=rgb2gray(imagecontg{1,n}); %convert green image to greyscale
    b=rgb2gray(imagecontr{2,n}); %convert red image to greyscale
    imshowpair(a,b,'montage');%compare images to one another and plot
    totintcontg(n)=sum(sum(a)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the green image
    totintcontr(n)=sum(sum(b)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the red image
    
    imagetreat{1,n}=imread(sprintf('group4 g%2d.jpg',n)); %selects green image (n) from list
    imagetreat{2,n}=imread(sprintf('group4 r%2d.jpg',n)); %selects red image (n) from list
    c=rgb2gray(imagetreat{1,n}); %convert green image to greyscale
    d=rgb2gray(imagetreat{2,n}); %convert red image to greyscale
    imshowpair(c,d,'montage');%compare images to one another and plot
    totinttreatg(n)=sum(sum(c)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the green image
    totinttreatr(n)=sum(sum(d)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the red image
    
end

end

what I am having trouble with is matlab allowing me to call the function. So I would define the first value as x=1 and then get the results from the function so I could process them further in the script. e.g.

startvalue = x
x=1 
function imageprocess=imselect(x);%function to select same image from each group
imagescontg=zeros(1,10);
imagescontr=zeros(1,10);
imagestreatg=zeros(1,10);
imagestreatr=zeros(1,10);

for n=x:size(imagescontg,2)
    imagecontg{1,n}=imread(sprintf('group1 g%2d.jpg',n)); %selects green image (n) from list
    imagecontr{2,n}=imread(sprintf('group1 r%2d.jpg',n)); %selects red image (n) from list
    a=rgb2gray(imagecontg{1,n}); %convert green image to greyscale
    b=rgb2gray(imagecontr{2,n}); %convert red image to greyscale
    imshowpair(a,b,'montage');%compare images to one another and plot
    totintcontg(n)=sum(sum(a)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the green image
    totintcontr(n)=sum(sum(b)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the red image
    
    imagetreat{1,n}=imread(sprintf('group4 g%2d.jpg',n)); %selects green image (n) from list
    imagetreat{2,n}=imread(sprintf('group4 r%2d.jpg',n)); %selects red image (n) from list
    c=rgb2gray(imagetreat{1,n}); %convert green image to greyscale
    d=rgb2gray(imagetreat{2,n}); %convert red image to greyscale
    imshowpair(c,d,'montage');%compare images to one another and plot
    totinttreatg(n)=sum(sum(c)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the green image
    totinttreatr(n)=sum(sum(d)); %equation to find the total intensity value of the red image
    
end

end
% further processing in the script
Controlledgroupresults = [totintcontg; totintcontr]'
Treatmentgroupratioresults = [totinttreatg; totinttreatr]'
Controlledratio=[totintcontg./totintcontr]'
Treatmentration=[totinttreatg./totinttreatr]'
[h,p]=ttest(Controlledratio,Treatmentration)

Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks

Is there any issue to call the function.

Look, suppose you have the following function

function imageprocess=imselect(x);
%do something
end 

%save it in different matlab file name as imselect

Now call the function in main script

x=.. % define the value
y=imselect(x);

Here imageprocess output as y.

In your second code, why you are defining the function code again, not required.

Thanks Kalyan. I only placed the code there again as an example of what I wanted to do. It turns out there was a conflict in the file names which prevented it from running which I have sorted. My problem now is, that I am getting the current error message.

Output argument "imageprocess" (and maybe others)
not assigned during call to "myfun2".

Error in project (line 2)
y=myfun2(x)

The code works if I run it as seperate function, but has issue with it in a script. Any ideas?

[KALYAN ACHARJYA]

Have you tried this one, after define x= some value (say 1) in main script, not in function code?

y=imselect(x)

[Sam Thorpe]

Thank you Kalyan. I have managed to get it to work. I'm still getting used to the matlab structure.
