How to send the value from test script(m file) to main m file which is not written as a function?

Hello all, I want to send the value of Modes{k} from other m file into example.m which is not written as a function. In other words, when I run the other m file(test script), example.m will directly start with the Modes{k} value, will not take an input from user.

example.m

Modes={'a';'b';'c'};
fprintf('Please select a mode\n')
fprintf('Modes:\n')
fprintf('[%d] "%s" \n',1,Modes{1})
fprintf('[%d] "%s" \n',2,Modes{2})
fprintf('[%d] "%s" \n',3,Modes{3})
.
.
k=input('Mode:','s');
[xt,ut,yout]=myfunc('model',model,'file',Modes{k},'manuel',true);
.
.

Not clear...can you explain a bit more?

Easy: change it to a function, and get rid of all input commands.

The choice is quite simple.

Ok, I have two m files(testscript.m and example.m). I want to access a parameter which is an input from user in example.m using some codes in testscript.m. Is it clear?

@StephanCobeldick I don't normally want to get rid of input commands because example.m needs those, I just need that in testing. for example we run testscript.m then we will perform a test in Modes{1} without any user input to example.m. Is this possible?

Write values of Modes into a file at your disk:

save('fileModes.mat','Modes')

then you can use

load fileModes.mat

everywhere you need it
