Assigning variables from command line

Hello,

For whatever reason, I want to be able to run an .m file (not a function) from the command window, and then add parameters on the same line in which I run the program.

for instance,

run file_I_want_to_run.m, true, false

Is there any way I can assign the boolean true and false to variables within the .m file?

The booleans dictate how a certain part of the .m file runs.

Thanks!

You can set any parameter you want, then run your m-file

var1=1 % set your variable var1
var2=2  % var2
your_mFile % run your_mFie

running the m-file then assigning values to your variables doesn't make sens

The point is that I want the user to enter the parameters themselves. I don't know whether it's going to be true or false.

Once we implement the code, we will be running this from the terminal window so it's imperative that all information stays on 1 line.

Any way you know of that I can accomplish this?

Yes -- make this code a function file instead of a script file, and have the user enter the parameters as input arguments to that function when they call it.

What is going to be true or false? why is it imperative to have all information in one line, and what information mean in your code?

It is time to learn how to write a function, instead of a script.
