Getting the error "Unable to resolve the name filename.m" while trying to run a script

I'm using MATLAB R2019b, and every file that I run a script (filename.m) in the command window it gives me the error: "Unable to resolve the name filename.m".

I already tried the following commands that I found on MATLAB Answers:

"restoredefaultpath

savepath"

but it still doesn't work.

This error occurs when the script 'filename.m' is run at Command Prompt, as the dot is interpreted as an operator. So MATLAB searches for a struct with the name 'filename' and a field 'm', instead of 'filename' script file.

To fix this, you need to call the script without the extension (as follows):

>>filename
