Screencast on the basics of matlab script m files what they are useful for how to make them how to add comments to an m file and how to manage them.
Embed mat file in m file.
After the m file is saved with the name filename m in the current matlab folder or directory you can execute the commands in the m file by simply typing filename at the matlab command window prompt.
Each sample consists of a time stamp and an associated data value.
The from file block icon shows the name of the mat file that supplies the data to the block.
I m answering assuming that you are mentioning mat file.
In these files you write series of commands which you want to execute.
When this newly created mfile is run you want it to essentially create a new mat file which is binary equal to the original mat file.
The data can be in array format or matlab timeseries format.

For example here i am saving the m file with the naming dipslab m.
M file is merely a matlab script file if the data you want to load has regular name like name1 mat name2 mat i recommend you to use eval function with for loop.
Thus you can t always convert.
But if your matlab code just contains variable assignments yes then you can convert assuming you have a file testm m with the assigments.
The data is a sequence of samples.
Filename can include a file extension and a full or partial path.
Sample mat file program example write a matlab program to solve the mathematical calculation for example the addition of two numbers calculate the value of a.
If you don t want to run the whole m file you can just copy the part of the m file that you want to run and paste it at the matlab prompt.
So you want a function that when given the name of a mat file will create an m file.
Matlab data is in files with extension mat.
Extension of the new matlab file should be mat or m file.
Matlab also allows you to write series of commands into a file and execute the file as complete unit like writing a function and calling it.
If filename has no extension that is no text after a period load looks for a file named filename mat if filename has an extension other than mat the load function treats.
The from file block loads data from a mat file into a model and outputs the data as a signal.
