"-mat"

binary file

"-ascii"

option to force Scilab to read file as an ASCII file

var1, var2

character strings containing the name of the variables to load (only for binary files)

Description

Examples

A = rand(10,10);
B = sprand(100,100,0.1);
savematfile('test_matfile.mat','A','B','-v6');
clear;
loadmatfile('test_matfile.mat');
disp(A)
disp(B)
