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
