Stuck at a command input

When i try to run a program or write sthg in the command line in matlab I just get the same input line over and over again. I deleted the orfiginal file and even restarded matlab. What is wrong?

>> clear

>> whos

>> load

What is the original value? kl

Error using input

Unrecognized function or variable 'kl'.

Error in load (line 3)

x = input(prompt)

What is the original value?

the last one here always comes up

You accidentally created your own load.m that is interfering with using MATLAB's load() function.

Also, it appears that you might be expecting the user to enter a character string instead of a numeric value. If that is the case, you should be using the optional second parameter of input(), the 's' option

x = input(prompt, 's')

How can that be fixed? Nothing seem to work.

[Walter Roberson]

Rename your load.m to something else. Change

x = input(prompt)

to

x = input(prompt, 's')

[Robert Bag]

Thanks. I did that. Now I am on my way with this code prompt = ('input mat.file: ');

file = input(prompt);

load(file)

whos('-file',file)

disp(

Now all i want it to return only name and size (not class)

We were already discussing that. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/828555-matlab-struct-with-names-and-sizes-of-the-mat-file?s_tid=srchtitle#comment_1518978
