Thread Subject: Load mat-file from GUI

Hi all

I try to load a mat-file when I close GUI.

I use this code:

function figure1_DeleteFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
load test2.mat

But in WS nothing appear.

Kind regards.
 

I do it:

function figure1_DeleteFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
    % Cargar archivo.mat
    load test2.mat
    % Excluir variables de la GUI
    no={'eventdata','hObject','handles'};
    % Leer archivo .mat
    s = whos('-file', 'test2');
    % Asignar nombre y variable
    for n=1:length(s)
        if strcmp(s(1).name,char(no{1})) || strcmp(s(1).name,char(no{2})) || strcmp(s(1).name,char(no{3}))
            continue
        end
        % Grabar en workspace
        assignin('base', s(n).name, eval(s(n).name))
    end

It might be that when you load the mat file, you aren't loading them into the right workspace. If you call load from within a function, it will load the variables into the workspace of that function. Then when that function returns, it's variables are deleted.

I agree with Camron. You load them in inside your function and then
they are local variables at that point - local to that function ONLY.
When that function returns or exits, those variables vanish. You will
need to load them again in the scope of the function where you want to
use them, or from the command line or a simple script if you want to
keep them hanging around.
