m files as Function Inputs !!

Dear all, I have several files with real data representing signals and in each file I draw the kernel estimate function for the data. I have another m file to calculate the delay so I want the two parameters for the delay function to be any signal from the files I created so when I runi it using the command I can choose any two signals and It will calculate the delay.. Not sure how to pass the two files as arguments.How can I in the xcorr argument say two different data?
function d = delayMethod(filename1,filename2)
data = importdata(filename);
[Rxx, lags] = xcorr(data, data);
[Y, delay] = max(Rxx);
lags(d)
end
Thanks, Susan

Is your file a .m file or .mat file? Your title says .m file. Answers below assume .mat file.
If your file is .m file, then the variable name 'data' is dependent on the code inside the .m file.

function d = delayMethod(filename1,filename2)
eval(filename1);
eval(filename2);
%data1 and data2 shall be whatever the related variable name
[Rxx, lags] = xcorr(data1, data2);
[Y, delay] = max(Rxx);
lags(d)
call it through
delayMethod('work1','work2');
I am not sure what lags(d) means though!

I have no idea what is inside your work1.m. You'll have to do whatever is necessary to not to make the plot. Regarding the changing variable names, that is something you have to deal with based on your programming structure. The best I can suggest is to make your work1.m also a function with return argument so you can do like data1=work1;data2=work2; But then you'll have to modify your delayMethod() too. Anyway, there are ways to deal with it. You just need to plan ahead and deal with it one at a time.

but I want it to work for all the data files, so I will just have to type the files I want to calculate the delay for but pre-specifying it in the code data1 = work1 etc is not feasible solution for me !!

d = delayMethod('file1.mat','file2.mat');
calling something that uses the inputs:
function d = delayMethod(filename1,filename2)
data1 = importdata(filename1);
data2 = importdata(filename2);
[Rxx, lags] = xcorr(data1, data2);
[Y, delay] = max(Rxx);
lags(d)
end

I run it in the command using your above line and I got an error,
[Rxx, lags] = xcorr(data1, data2);
didn't recognize the input arguments data1 and data2???

Yeuk! You need to do it differently! It is poor programming but just get you through!

Paulo, I know!
I posted mine, and when it returned yours was there, with identical recommendations. We've been brainwashed by the forum!

I am still stuck with this.. I tried different things to check what is the function doing,I found out that its plotting the first file I put in the argument and I don't want it to do this, I am just interested in the delay variable. The other thing, I made all the variables names in all the file X so in the xcorr(X,X) thats what I did I run work2,work3 and both of their variables are X so in the xcorr(X,X), I got the delay 83 and If I swap it I get the delay 90 (by swap it I mean work3,work2).. I also, changed the variables name so I made work2 Y and work 3 X so in xcorr(Y,X) I got 83 and if i swap (work3,work2) I still get 83?? I don't understand why in the above case I get 90??

You really really need to go back to the basics of MATLAB. You don't have a clue of what you are doing after so many questions.
If you name the variable the same as "X" for work2.m and work3.m, then when you run delayMethod('work2','work3'), it is going to run work2 first, then run work3, the X variable is over-written. xcorr(X,X) is calculate the correlation of X itself from work3. If you switch the order, it is going to calculate the correlation of X itself from work2.
If you name the variable Y for work2 and X for work3, xcorr(Y,X) will be the same even if your switch the order delayMethod('work2','work3'), or delayMethod('work3','work2').
