I have a script file that reads data from a text file, performs some
operations on the data and writes the results out to another text

operation needs to be run many times, each time using a different
data text
file and writing the results out to separate "results" text files.
Is there
a way in which the above script file can be run from a second script
file,
this second script file passing the name of the required data text
file to
be read prior to operations, and indicating the text file name that
the
results should be saved as?
Your first script file would be
-----------------------------
file_to_read = "data.txt"
file_to_write = "results.txt"
process_data (file_to_read, file_to_save)
-----------------------------
Your second function script would be
-----------------------------
function process_data (file_to_read, file_to_save)
.
.
.
endfunction
-----------------------------
Place your script between the function/endfunction lies and save the
second function script with the name "process_data.m". You can use a
different name, but be sure to change the function name (1st line) as
well.
Is that what you'd like to do?
