Loading a Saved Workspace

To load a workspace that you previously saved:

1. Click the load data button on the toolbar in the Workspace browser, or right-click in the Workspace browser and select Import Data from the context menu.

The Open dialog box opens.

2. Select the MAT-file you want to load and click Open.

The variables and their values, as stored in the MAT-file, are loaded into the workspace.

You can also load a saved workspace using the Import Wizard. Select Import Data from the File menu and then select a file from the Import dialog box. The Import Wizard opens. Use the Import Wizard to open the saved workspace. For instructions, see Using the Import Wizard with Binary Data Files.

Function Alternative.   Use load to open a saved workspace. For example,

load('june10')

loads all workspace variables from the file june10.mat.

Note    If the saved MAT-file june10 contains the variables A, B, and C, then loading june10 places the variables A, B, and C back into the workspace. If the variables already exist in the workspace, they are overwritten with the variables from june10. For more information, see the reference page for load. MATLAB provides other functions for loading information - see Chapter 6, Importing and Exporting Data.
