load

Arguments

filename

character string containing the path of the file

fd

a file descriptor given by a call to mopen

xi

arbitrary Scilab variable name(s) given as strings.

Description

The load command can be used to reload in the Scilab session variables previously saved in a file with the save command. If the file contains graphic handle variables, the corresponding graphics_entities are drawn.

Since Scilab 5.0, all uimenu or uicontrol handles are also drawn.

load(filename) loads the variables saved in file given by its path filename.

load(fd) loads the variables saved in file given by its descriptor fd.

load(filename,'x','y') or load(fd,'x','y') loads only variables x,y.

Even if the binary file format has changed with 2.5 version of Scilab, load(filename,...) is able to read old format files.

Note that the written file is portable to other operating systems and architectures (little and big endian).

Examples

a=eye(2,2);b=ones(a);
save('vals.dat',a,b);
clear a
clear b
load('vals.dat','a','b');
