I tried using this. This gives me an error like this.

Error: File: RunLwrExtModeCal.m Line: 1 Column: 165

Invalid text character. Check for unsupported symbol, invisible character, or pasting of non-ASCII characters.

Error in run (line 91)

evalin('caller', strcat(script, ';'));

print out pathname and filename or try debug mode to see what is wrong. Or show the .m file you picked and intended to run.

Hey thanks, the code is working with run(fulfile(pathname,filename));

There was a problem with my code, now its corrected.

Thank you
