How do I execute .m
files in Octave?
Octave is mostly compatible with Matlab. Most matlab functions can be made to run with very little change. With careful coding, you can get your code to run without change in Matlab and Octave.
How to run the m-file? After the m-file is saved with the name filename. m in the current MATLAB folder or directory, you can execute the commands in the m-file by simply typing filename at the MATLAB command window prompt.
To run an existing script in Octave, you have to be in the same directory as the script file and type in the name of the file without the . m in Octave. For example, if I have a script called myscript. m in an octave directory, the following two commands will execute the script.
Octave is used interactively by running the program 'octave' without any arguments. Once started, Octave reads commands from the terminal until you tell it to exit. You can use exit(0) function to come out of the Octave prompt.
In the Octave prompt, simply type file1
.
Of course, you need to make sure Octave can recognize its path.
In octave prompt, type run("file1.m")
or entering the filename without .m
extension.
There are two ways to execute a file in Octave ::
Simply type the filename without extension .
Type run("filename.m") in the command line of Octave .
Then press ctrl + c to exit the file in middle of the run .
