Include compose functions

Matthieu Pupat

Hello,

 

If I define a function in an OML file, how can I call that function from another OML file?

 

Thanks,

Hello Matthieu,

           You can call the function using function name along with input arguments.

 

I have the following function (test) which does the addition of two input numbers.

 

function out = test(a,b)

 out = a+b;

end

 

Way of calling the function:

test(1,3)

out = test(1,3)

Hi,

 

This works if both are in the same file. I was referring to the function being in one file and the call in a different one. How can I include the first file in the second one?

 

Thanks,

Hi Matthieu,

1st we need to save the function script with the same name and use the function name in a different file.

 

say for example

script 1: save the test function as test.oml

function out = test(a,b)

 out = a+b;

end

 

then,

you can call the 'test' in a different file as a script/function:

function val = test2()

a = 5

b =6

out = test(a,b)

val = out;

end

 

hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Please mind that the file should be either:

• added to 'path' by calling addpath('<pathtotestoml>); however this will affect only the current Compose session (closing and reopening Compose will reset path to its original value)
• reside in the same folder of the calling function.

Otherwise the test function that you saved in test.oml won't be found.
