Hello,
I want to load a file collection1.txt
So I wrote
function [output]= calculate_tfidf('E:\backup\Media\collection1.txt')
end
But when I run the program to see if file has been loaded I get the message bellow
Error: File: calculate_tfidf.m Line: 2 Column: 36
Invalid expression. Check for missing multiplication operator, missing or unbalanced delimiters, or other syntax error. To construct
matrices, use brackets instead of parentheses.
Thank you in advance

The only operations that can be present in a "function" line are:
[] -- around the list of output variables only, no-where else on the line
() -- around the list of input variables only, no-where else on the line
comma -- separate the list of input variables and list of output variables
~ -- replacing one of the input variables, indicating it should be ignored
Calculations and indexing of all varieties are not permitted.
In particular it is never valid to have a quoted string in the function line.
Your code should look like
function [output] = calculate_tfidf(filename)
output = load(filename);
end
and you should invoke it like
output = calculated_tfidf('E:\backup\Media\collection1.txt');

@Isida Kaloshi: load is not suitable for importing your text file. Either pick a method yourself from the available text-file importing functions:
or upload a sample file by clicking the paperclip button, and we will help you.
