Thread Subject: Load .dat file while running m-file

Hi,
I would like to load a .dat file while running a m-file,
my problem is not how to make the program load a specific file, but to make
the program ask for an input, where I choose wich file to run.
I have tried the code:

load input(['comment'])

but matlab give me the error
??? Error using ==> load
Unable to read file input(['comment']): No such file or directory.

Error in ==> testloadmatrix at 11
load input(['comment']);

Anyone know what I should do?

Regards S?ren

For a variable filename, you need to use function syntax for load, rather
than command syntax. For example:

filename = uigetfile;
load(filename)
