Variable feeding into a function

How can I get a variable from one script to feed into a function? Hope that makes sense?

If the function is in its own function .m-file in your MATLAB search path, just call the function in your script with that variable as an argument to the function, just as you would any other function.

Ops! I didn't meant to accept the answer.

What I meant is, my function uses xlsread but the filename is a variable entered from another script. When that filename has been entered, how can I feed that into my function? Thanks

Thank you anyway!

I don’t quite understand what you’re doing. It might be easiest to call your function from the script that creates the filename and pass the filename as an argument to the function.

If the function really isn’t a function but is instead another script, the easiest way I can think of just now is to write the filename to a .mat file with a specific name, then have your other script read that .mat file and get the name from it. That’s how I would do it (but then my code isn’t always as efficient as it could be).
