Running a certain script section from other m-file?

Hi,

let´s say that I would have two matlab m-files: A and B.

My need is to run some certain part (section) in m-file A, but this would be run by m-file B. Is this possible.

It´s like the section in A would be like a "function" that m-file B calls. However, I wouldn´t like to make the section in A as a function. I would like to keep it as a certain section that I can run with "run section" button if I want to in m-file A.

Is this even possible to run a section as "remote"?

Yes. Your script could read A.m as a bunch of strings, extract the lines of interest, and then eval() those lines.

If you want to stick with scripts, I suggest moving those lines out of A.m into A_sub.m, and in A.m replace them with the line

A_sub

to run the A_sub script within the context of A . You would use the same line in B.

This is not the same as creating a function: function files need to start with the word "function"
