Run .m script from GUI

I have a GUI that takes user defined inputs, and I want the user to be able to press a pushbutton on the GUI that then runs the .m script using the variables.
So i have, for the push button:
% --- Executes Setup Balance on button press
function pb_balance_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject handle to pb_balance (see GCBO)
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
run BalanceSetup
Where the button is called pb_balance and the .m script is called BalanceSetup. Will this work or do i need a different command to run it? The .m file is 500 lines long so i don't want to include it in my .m file for the GUI.
Thanks

You don't need to type run. Just the name of the script will cause the script to execute.

Is that not the same thing you are discussing in http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/answers/112219-how-to-use-an-external-script-app-to-automatically-start-the-matlab-model-without-the-user-having-to ?

Yes but I can't get it to work using what is discussed in that thread. I was hoping if somebody else had another idea on how to get it to work.
Thanks
