Matlab also allows you to write series of commands into a file and execute the file as complete unit like writing a function and calling it.
Embed mat file in 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.
Filename can include a file extension and a full or partial path.
Sample mat file program example write a matlab program to solve the mathematical calculation for example the addition of two numbers calculate the value of a.
If you do not specify filename the load function searches for a file named matlab mat.
I m answering assuming that you are mentioning mat file.
Each sample consists of a time stamp and an associated data value.
For example here i am saving the m file with the naming dipslab m.
Matlab data is in files with extension mat.
Matlab allows writing two kinds of program files scripts script files are program files with m extension.
The data is a sequence of samples.
In these files you write series of commands which you want to execute.
Thus you can t always convert.
Name of file specified as a character vector or string scalar.
M file is merely a matlab script file if the data you want to load has regular name like name1 mat name2 mat i recommend you to use eval function with for loop.
The from file block loads data from a mat file into a model and outputs the data as a signal.
When this newly created mfile is run you want it to essentially create a new mat file which is binary equal to the original mat file.
If filename has no extension that is no text after a period load looks for a file named filename mat if filename has an extension other than mat the load function treats.
Screencast on the basics of matlab script m files what they are useful for how to make them how to add comments to an m file and how to manage them.
So you want a function that when given the name of a mat file will create an m file.
But if your matlab code just contains variable assignments yes then you can convert assuming you have a file testm m with the assigments.
If you don t want to run the whole m file you can just copy the part of the m file that you want to run and paste it at the matlab prompt.
Extension of the new matlab file should be mat or m file.
