Re: passing m-files as a function argument

[parigigi]

Thanks everybody...

I didn't manage to solve my problem because m-files that exit from this
commercial software are scripts and not functions, containing only data.
Using 

function []=NRW_libre(HFSSresultsfilename,epaisseur)

dataloading = str2func(HFSSresultsfilename)
dataloading;


I got the following error message:

??? Attempt to execute SCRIPT datamatrix as a function.


So I tried to use "load" function instead, but then I got the following
message:


Number of columns on line 3 of ASCII file C:\Documents and
Settings\Andrea\Bureau\mdesk\datamatrix.m must be the same as previous
lines.


I still didn't find a way to modify datamatrix.m in order to make it working
with the load command. Do you foresee any other solution?


Thanks a lot again

Andrea
