Matrix to numbers in script?

Hi i dont know if this is possible but, if i have a matrix (1x50 double) named "numbers" that generates from one .m file once all iterations are complete, is it possible to get it written out in a vector called "bestNumbers" in another m.file?

Right now i have:

BestNumbers = [numbers];

But i would like for it to be (in the script not command window):

BestNumbers = [ 1 3 4 5 17 and so on ]

Thankfull for any tips,

/ Jasmine

You can make the 1st script (the one that generates the values) a function file which outputs the variable numbers and call it in the 2nd script.

"is it possible to get it written out in a vector called "bestNumbers" in another m.file?"

That would not be a very easy or efficient approach.

Most likely you should simply pass the data as a function output as Dyuman Joshi recommended, or store it as DGM stated.

Thank you all for the answers, i understand it is not super efficient but it was just for an assignment. I was hoping there was a more efficient or clever ;) way to do this but i will just use copy and paste as @DGM said, which was the original plan. Thanks!!!

If you're just generating a set of constants to embed into the script, you can use mat2str(), though depending on your actual values and the amount of space you're willing to use, you may have to compromise on precision. For integers, that shouldn't matter.

result_of_calibration = randi(99,1,20);
mat2str(result_of_calibration) % dump to console

ans = '[37 66 56 5 1 5 50 35 62 95 32 2 55 19 99 7 36 28 68 82]'

% ... then you can copy and paste that into your script like so
calconstants = [37 66 56 5 1 5 50 35 62 95 32 2 55 19 99 7 36 28 68 82];

For non-integer floats, you'll want to select an appropriate output precision.

For larger arrays, especially floats at higher precision, you may be better off just including them in an accompanying .mat file instead of embedding the array in the script as a giant constant.

@Dyuman Joshi also has a good point to consider.
