'run' command with input argument - MATLAB 2018a

I have Matlab script already existing in matlab path for example 'data_work_path'.

'data_work_path' function supports one input argument

I am going to call the above script from another script,

I will be getting the script name as string,

for example a = 'data', b = 'work', c = 'path'

run command woking when without input argument run([a, '_', b, '_', c])

but with input argument as string i am getting the error run([a, '_', b, '_', c, '(''alpha'')'])

can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

run does not work with functions, it only works with scripts:

If you want to call a function with some dynamic name, then you can use str2func like this:

str = sprintf('%s_%s_%s',a,b,c);
fun = str2func(str);
fun("alpha") % call it with whatever input arguments it requires.

Of course the function will need to be on the MATLAB Search Path or in the current directory.

sorry i need to call the another script only

"sorry i need to call the another script only"

All of your screenshots clearly show that data_work_path is a function. You cannot call it with run.

run only works with scripts.

run does not call functions.
