The script is third party, and I get a new one frequently. I would like to avoid adding a maintenance point that requires changing the third party script each time I get a new one.

Can you ask the third party to modify the process they use for generating the script to avoid the INPUT call in the main workhorse function, allowing you the user to choose how to obtain the data that you pass into the workhorse? That way you could have different interface functions for getting the data via INPUT, from a file, from a hardware device, from a GUI, etc. without changing the workhorse. -- Steve Lord slord(a)mathworks.com comp.soft-sys.matlab (CSSM) FAQ: http://matlabwiki.mathworks.com/MATLAB_FAQ To contact Technical Support use the Contact Us link on http://www.mathworks.com |
