I have two scripts. In first script I have some functions.
script1.m:
function res = func1(a)
res = a * 5;
end
function res = func2(x)
res = x .^ 2;
end
In second script I call these functions. How to include script1.m in second script and call functions from script1.m?

You can't if the functions are defined as local functions in the script1 file.
Just put the functions in their own separate file (of the same name as the function and on your path) if they are being used by both script1 and script2.

You can add them to a MATLAB class. Then instantiate an object of this class and call any of the functions.
It should be something like this:
In a separate file (ex, functionsContainer.m)
classdef functionsContainer
methods
function res = func1(obj,a)
res = a * 5;
end
function res = func2(obj,x)
res = x .^ 2;
end
end
end
Then, in your script create an object:
myObj = functionsContainer;
Finally, call whatever function you like:
res1 = myObj.func1(a);
res2 = myObj.func2(x);

Is there a way for example328959 to be inputed from a string?
I have a variable that stores example328959 as "example328959" as I need to be able to change the file that is referenced. Is there someway to reference this string as the file name in my "Use as:" code?
