load Load a saved variable or a serie of variables load(filename [,x1,...,xn]) load(fd [,x1,...,xn]) filename character string containing the path of the file fd a file descriptor given by a call to mopen xi arbitrary Scilab variable name(s) given as strings. The load command can be used to reload in the Scilab session variables previously saved in a file with the save command. If the file contains graphic handle variables, the corresponding graphics_entities are drawn. load(filename) loads the variables saved in file given by its path filename. load(fd) loads the variables saved in file given by its descriptor fd. This prototype is obsolete and will be removed in Scilab 6. load(filename,'x','y') loads only variables x,y. load(fd,'x','y') loads only variables x,y. This prototype is obsolete and will be removed in Scilab 6.. The change of format between the family 5 and 6 of Scilab has been decided because the 5 format is undocumented, not specified and hard to read. SOD (Scilab 6 default format) is fully documented and easy to read through HDF5 libraries or applications. Note that the written file is portable to other operating systems and architectures (little and big endian). save read listvarinfile save_format exec mopen 5.0.0 All uimenu or uicontrol handles are also loaded by this function. 5.4.0 The load function is able to handle both Scilab 5 and SOD (Scilab 6 format) by default. The Scilab 5.X format is deprecated and will be removed with Scilab 6. Using load with a file descriptor as first input argument is deprecated and will be removed with Scilab 6.
