Run scripts with a script

Hello guys,

I tried to write a scipt (i call it "central"), where i can run other scripts in subfolders.

% "central"
addsubfolders=genpath('C:\Users\Ajith\Desktop\IFP\Varianten');
addpath(addsubfolders)
TPA_V7_1;
TPA_V7_2;

Matlab shows me this warning and stop running:

Warning: Name is nonexistent or not a directory: C:\Users\Desktop\IFP\Varianten\2019-11-08 1 1 XLSX 
> In path (line 109)
  In addpath (line 86)
  In TPA_V7_1 (line 15)
  In central (line 4) 
  

My scripts in the subfolders try to open Excelfiles. When i run the script in the subfolders in their location, they run without problems.

When i try to run with "central" to run this scripts, it dont work and addpath doesnt work too.

genpath is a big hammer. Are you certain you actually need to use it?

Looking at the message you received:

Warning: Name is nonexistent or not a directory: C:\Users\Desktop\IFP\Varianten\2019-11-08 1 1 XLSX 
> In path (line 109)
  In addpath (line 86)
  In TPA_V7_1 (line 15)
  In central (line 4)

you've added the path inside central but then you're adding more directories to the path in TPA_V7_1. I'd be concerned that it would be difficult if not impossible for a human to be certain exactly which version of a script or function is being executed inside TPA_V7_1.

But anyway, the path you used in your genpath call in central is:

addsubfolders=genpath('C:\Users\Ajith\Desktop\IFP\Varianten');

In your addpath call inside TPA_V7_1, should there be the word "Ajith" between "Users" and "Desktop"?

Yes, i added it,but still dont work.

genpath is a hammer, but do you have alternatives?
