%LOAD Load workspace variables from disk.
%  LOAD FILENAME retrieves all variables from a file given a full pathname
%  or a MATLABPATH relative partial pathname (see PARTIALPATH).  If FILENAME
%  has no extension LOAD looks for FILENAME and FILENAME.mat and treats it
%  as a binary "MAT-file". If FILENAME has an extension other than .mat, it
%  is treated as ASCII.
%
%  LOAD, by itself, uses the binary "MAT-file" named 'matlab.mat'.  It is
%  an error if 'matlab.mat' is not found.
%
%  LOAD FILENAME X loads only X.
%  LOAD FILENAME X Y Z ... loads just the specified variables.  The
%  wildcard '*' loads variables that match a pattern (MAT-file only).
%
%  LOAD -ASCII FILENAME or LOAD -MAT FILENAME forces LOAD to treat the file
%  as either an ASCII file or a MAT file regardless of file extension.  With
%  -ASCII, LOAD will error if the file is not numeric text.  With -MAT, LOAD
%  will error if the file is not a MAT file those generated by SAVE -MAT.
%
%  If FILENAME is a MAT file, requested variables from FILENAME are created
%  in the workspace. If FILENAME is not a MAT file, a double precision array
%  is created with name based on FILENAME.  Leading underscores or digits in
%  FILENAME are replaced with X.  Other non-alpha chars in FILENAME are
%  replaced with underscores.
%
%  S = LOAD(...) returns the contents of FILENAME in variable S.  If
%  FILENAME is a MAT file, S is a struct containing fields matching the
%  variables retrieved.  If FILENAME is an ASCII file, S is a double
%  precision array.
%
%  Use the functional form of LOAD, such as LOAD('filename'), when the
%  file name is stored in a string, when an output argument is requested,
%  or if FILENAME contains spaces.
