Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me out with a minor problem.  I have the following portion of a much larger script (see below). My problem occurs when I enter a 1,8, or 9, which correctly runs another script.  The issue arises when the other script ends, and it reverts back to the script below and then continues with this main script.  How do I get it to simply stop running once it completes the seperate script for the values 1, 8, or 9? I thought by using the 'return' it would do that particular job, but not the case.

i = input('Enter the profile name for analyses > ');
if i==1
    run Newport_PlotEDA_pr1
    return
elseif i==8
    run Newport_PlotEDA_pr8
    return
elseif i==9
    run Newport_PlotEDA_pr9
    return
end
fname=sprintf('newport%d_EDA-B.txt',i);
cd ('C:\DATA\DOGAMI_projects\OBSMAP\Beach_profiles\Newport\EDA')
EDA = csvread(fname);            %load excursion distance data
ddate = load('newport_EDA_time.txt');       %load time data
yy = ddate(:,1);
mm = ddate(:,2);
dd = ddate(:,3);
time = datenum(yy,mm,dd);        %convert time data to matlab format


Many thanks
Jon

You could put all of the statements after the end into a non-conditional else statement so that once the program is done (w/ 1 8 9) nothing else is called.  I.e:

>     return
> elseif i==8
>     run Newport_PlotEDA_pr8

> elseif i==9
>     run Newport_PlotEDA_pr9
>     return
else

end

Thanks Sean, this worked.
