How to run a mat file only after the others have run

Hi,

I have 4/5 matlab windows open and I run several independent mat files at the same time. When they finish I have another mat file which loads the data files saved by the others and computes an overall view. I start that code when I realize the others have finished but can I set this code to run automatically after the other files?

Hope I was clear.

Thanks a lot.

The other thing I wanted to do was to start all over again running the models to add a different simulation saved with another data file name after that final code runs. Basically to run those several windowns on a loop so as to have several simulations during the night.

YOu have to run a loop for all the files, do the operations and save them back.

F = dir('*.mat');    % get all mat files in the present folder 
for ii = 1:length(F)
   Fii = F(ii).name;    % present file name 
   %%load the file 
   %%do what ever you want      
end

Sorry, I am lost. Can I run the 5 independent files at the same time (to save time) and in the end run the last one only when the others finish, save the results and start running the 5 files at the same time again saving the results with a different name and run the final file again? I reall don't have a lot of experience commanding scripts.
