Access m-files in a subfolder without permanently adding it to the path

Question

I have downloaded a toolbox with many files in many subfolders (spatial-econometrics toolbox) for use on one particular project and I don\'t want to add it to the path becau

Answer 1

I use the following to keep my functions in a separate 'functions' folder in the same directory as the main script. As long as you know the path to the toolbox functions, this should work for you.

% Add path (at beginning of script)
added_path = [pwd,'/functions']; %change to: added_path = '/path' for your required path
addpath(added_path);

% Remove path (at end of script/script clean-up)
rmpath(added_path);

You may want to look at genpath() to get those long and windy toolbox paths in a manageable way.
