How to run a function within another function with specified input?

Hi,

As you can see in the script below i made a figure with GUIDE and want to run the functions "S1.m" or "S2.m" if x3 or x4 = 1. How can i declare Hx,Wx,scalex and pat as input for S1.m or S2.m so this functions can interact with the values from Hx,Wx,scalex and pat?

Thanks!

function [varargout] = selection(varargin)

gui_Singleton = 1;
gui_State = struct('gui_Name',       mfilename, ...
                   'gui_Singleton',  gui_Singleton, ...
                   'gui_OpeningFcn', @selection_OpeningFcn, ...
                   'gui_OutputFcn',  @selection_OutputFcn, ...
                   'gui_LayoutFcn',  [] , ...
                   'gui_Callback',   []);
if nargin && ischar(varargin{1})
    gui_State.gui_Callback = str2func(varargin{1});
end

if nargout
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
else
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
end


function selection_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)

handles.output = hObject;

guidata(hObject, handles);

function varargout = selection_OutputFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles) 
varargout{1} = handles.output;


function cbE_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

Single = get(handles.cbE,'Value');
switch Single 
    case 1
        set(handles.cbS2,'Enable','On')
        set(handles.cbN2,'Enable','On')
    case 0
        set(handles.cbS2,'Enable','Off')
        set(handles.cbN2,'Enable','Off')
end



function cbS2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)


function cbN2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)



function bOK_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
x3 = get(handles.cbS2,'Value');
x4 = get(handles.cbN2,'Value');

Hx = str2double(get(handles.tH,'String'));
scalex = str2double(get(handles.ts,'String'));
pat = get(handles.tpath,'String');
Wx = str2double(get(handles.tW,'String'));

if x3 == 1
    run('S1.m')
end

if x4 == 1
    run('S2.m')
end


function tW_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

function tW_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

if ispc && isequal(get(hObject,'BackgroundColor'), get(0,'defaultUicontrolBackgroundColor'))
    set(hObject,'BackgroundColor','white');
end



function tH_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

function tH_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

if ispc && isequal(get(hObject,'BackgroundColor'), get(0,'defaultUicontrolBackgroundColor'))
    set(hObject,'BackgroundColor','white');
end



function ts_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

function ts_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

if ispc && isequal(get(hObject,'BackgroundColor'), get(0,'defaultUicontrolBackgroundColor'))
    set(hObject,'BackgroundColor','white');
end

function tpath_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

function tpath_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)

if ispc && isequal(get(hObject,'BackgroundColor'), get(0,'defaultUicontrolBackgroundColor'))
    set(hObject,'BackgroundColor','white');
end

Convert the scripts S1 and S2 to functions, which accept these inputs. Then:

x3 = get(handles.cbS2,'Value');
x4 = get(handles.cbN2,'Value');

Hx = str2double(get(handles.tH,'String'));
scalex = str2double(get(handles.ts,'String'));
pat = get(handles.tpath,'String');
Wx = str2double(get(handles.tW,'String'));
if x3 == 1
    S1(Hx, scalex, pat, Wx);
end
if x4 == 1
    S2(Hx, scalex, pat, Wx);
end

You have posted a "function", not a "script". The difference is important. See: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/scripts-and-functions.html

Prefer functions for serious work, because they keep the work space clean.
