Hello,
For whatever reason, I want to be able to run an .m file (not a function) from the command window, and then add parameters on the same line in which I run the program.
for instance,
run file_I_want_to_run.m, true, false
Is there any way I can assign the boolean true and false to variables within the .m file?
The booleans dictate how a certain part of the .m file runs.
Thanks!

You can set any parameter you want, then run your m-file
var1=1 % set your variable var1
var2=2 % var2
your_mFile % run your_mFie
running the m-file then assigning values to your variables doesn't make sens

What is going to be true or false? why is it imperative to have all information in one line, and what information mean in your code?

It is time to learn how to write a function, instead of a script.
