How to run 3 script in sequence?

I have 3 scripts.

a= 'add.m'

b ='split.m'

c ='find.m'

I want to run those scripts in sequence, how can i do it?

I used the for loop but it didn't work.

d = [ a , b , c]

for i =1: 3

try

run(d(i)

catch

disp (' it does not work')

end

end

First of all, Never use built-in functions as variable or scripts names.

You should modify the names of the scripts; for e.g. by adding a prefix as I have done below (or a suffix), or change the names entirely.

Second, you need to store the names as strings or cell array of char vectors -

a = 'script_add.m';
b = 'script_split.m';
c = 'script_find.m';

%Check the output of concatenating the names directly
d = [a b c]

d = 'script_add.mscript_split.mscript_find.m'

%First three elements
d(1:3)

ans = 'scr'

%Store in cell array
names = {a, b, c};

for k=1:numel(names)
    try
        run(names{k})
    catch
        disp('It does not work')
    end
end

I tried your code but it runs only the first elements of names.

Brace indexing is not supported for variables of this type. Assign the result of 'names' to a variable first, then brace index into it

Could you share the code you ran?

[Antonio]

script1= "Report_1.m";

script2= "Report_2.m";

script3="Report_3.m";

script4="Report_4.m";

script5="Report_5.m";

script = {script1,script2,script3,script4,script5};

for i = 1:5

b=(script{i})

run(b)

end

Brace indexing into the result of a function call is not supported. Assign the result of 'script' to a

variable first, then brace index into it.

Error in a (line 10)

b=(script{i})

I ran this code on my PC with different scripts and it works.

Are any of the scripts defined as a function?

Could you attach all of the files here? Use the paperclip button to attach.

They are not defined as a function

Could you attach the files, so I can reproduce the error and provide you with a working solution?
