    Say I use uigetfile to get a filename that is in a path not currently part of the matlab path. When I execute the next line of code (load(fileName)), the file will not be loaded since it is not in the current path. How can I go about adding the path (automatically/ without additional user input)?

    Cheers,
    Eli

    Eli, does this help?

      [f,p] = uigetfile;
  load(fullfile(p,f))

    Cheers
    Bob

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
