Why does my run command disappear once i save a file?

Hey. So I downloaded matlab however, the program does not let me run the script once I have saved the file. The run button appears at the beginning but once I save the script, it dissappears from the toolbar. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Julien - please describe your steps. You have created a script and then once you save the script (to an m-file) then the green run button disappears from the Editor? Can you run the script from the Command Window? What is your operating system and version of MATLAB?

Hi, before i save the script the run button is there but once i save the script in a .m file the button disappears. How do you run the script using the command window? I only know how to run it using the green play button. I am using MATLAB R2015b

I am experiencing the same problem. Code execution was paused, and I resumed control by pressing CTRL C...

Try checking that the (.m) extension has been added to the filename. In the windows version this occurs automatically when saving a file, but in the linux version it must be done by the user. The Run button will not appear if the file is not recognized by matlab as executable.

I had the same problem. Make sure you're in the editor tab.

In linux,you must save the file with .m file ,It resolves the issue

Hope that helps

You run a script simply by typing its name (without the extension '.m') in the command window and hit return. Note that Matlab can find the file only, when it is in the current directory or if the folder is contained in the path. See:

doc addpath
doc pathtool

The first steps in Matlab are explained in the "Getting Started" chapters of the documentation.
