How can i pass variables from an m file from the function workspace to the base workspace

5 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I´m writing a GUI code to run a simulink model with a push button.
In order to run the model, I have to run an .m file. The .m file is a script that creates more than 50 variables.
I want the GUI to run the .m file and save the variables in the base workspace, so the simulink model can run properly.
Is this posible? I've been reading a lot of questions but i couldn't find an answer.
Thanks.
Pedro

If your simulink model name is untitled, you can set the InitFcn of your model to mfile (mfile is the m-file that provide your 50 variables)
set_param('untitled','InitFcn','mfile')

In general, if you need to access base workspace while inside a function, you can use evalin. evalin('base','scriptfile'). If this were done inside a callback, scriptfile would create the variables in base workspace.
