@deftypefnx {} {} load options file v1 v2 @dots{}
@deftypefnx {} {S =} load ("options", "file", "v1", "v2", @dots{})
@deftypefnx {} {} load file options
@deftypefnx {} {} load file options v1 v2 @dots{}
@deftypefnx {} {S =} load ("file", "options", "v1", "v2", @dots{})
Load the named variables @var{v1}, @var{v2}, @dots{}, from the file @var{file}.
 
If no variables are specified then all variables found in the file will be
loaded.  Otherwise, full variable names or pattern syntax can be used to
specify the variables to save.  The format of the file is automatically
detected but may be overridden by supplying the appropriate option.
 
The @code{load} command may also be invoked using the functional form
 
@example
load ("-option1", @dots{}, "file", "v1", @dots{})
@end example
 
@noindent
where the @var{options}, @var{file}, and variable name arguments (@var{v1},
@dots{}) must be specified as character strings.
 
Valid options for @code{load} are listed in the following table.
 
@table @code
 
@item -ascii
Force Octave to assume the file contains columns of numbers in text format
without any header or other information.  Data in the file will be loaded
as a single numeric matrix with the name of the variable derived from the
name of the file.
 
@item -binary
Force Octave to assume the file is in Octave's binary format.
 
@item -hdf5
Force Octave to assume the file is in @sc{hdf5} format.  (@sc{hdf5} is a free,
portable binary format developed by the National Center for Supercomputing
Applications at the University of Illinois.)  Note that @code{load} is only
designed to read @sc{hdf5} files that were created by Octave with @code{save},
and attempts to read other @sc{hdf5} files may fail or produce unpredictable
results.  The @option{-hdf5} option provides a limited ability to read files
created using @sc{matlab}'s @option{-v7.3} option (which saves in @sc{hdf5}
format) although many data types are not yet supported.  This format is only
available if Octave was built with a link to the @sc{hdf5} libraries.
 
@item -text
Force Octave to assume the file is in Octave's text format.
 
@item  -v7.3
@itemx -V7.3
@itemx -7.3
Octave does @strong{not} yet implement @sc{matlab}'s v7.3 binary data format.
As the v7.3 format is an @sc{hdf5} based format, the @qcode{"-hdf5"} option
may be used to attempt to open a v7.3 format file, although most non-numeric
data types are not yet supported.  Note that Octave @strong{can not} currently
save in this format.
 
@item  -v7
@itemx -V7
@itemx -7
@itemx -mat7-binary
Force Octave to assume the file is in @sc{matlab}'s version 7 binary format.
 
@item  -v6
@itemx -V6
@itemx -6
@itemx -mat
@itemx -mat-binary
Force Octave to assume the file is in @sc{matlab}'s version 6 binary format.
 
@item  -v4
@itemx -V4
@itemx -4
@itemx -mat4-binary
Force Octave to assume the file is in @sc{matlab}'s version 4 binary format.
 
@end table
 
The list of variables to load may use wildcard patterns (glob patterns)
containing the following special characters:
 
@table @code
@item ?
Match any single character.
 
@item *
Match zero or more characters.
 
@item [ @var{list} ]
Match the list of characters specified by @var{list}.  If the first character
is @code{!} or @code{^}, match all characters except those specified by
@var{list}.  For example, the pattern @code{[a-zA-Z]} will match all lower and
uppercase alphabetic characters.
 
@end table
 
If invoked with a single output argument, Octave assigns loaded data to the
output instead of inserting variables in the symbol table.  If the data file
contains only numbers (TAB- or space-delimited columns), a matrix of values is
returned.  Otherwise, @code{load} returns a structure with members
corresponding to the names of the variables in the file.
 
The @code{load} command can read data stored in Octave's text and binary
formats, @sc{matlab}'s binary format, and many simple formats such as
comma-separated-values (CSV).  If compiled with zlib support, it can also load
gzip-compressed files.  It will automatically detect the type of file and do
conversion from different floating point formats (currently only IEEE big and
little endian, though other formats may be added in the future).
 
Programming Note: If a variable that is not marked as global is loaded from a
file when a global symbol with the same name already exists, it is loaded in
the global symbol table.  Also, if a variable is marked as global in a file and

Save the named variables @var{v1}, @var{v2}, @dots{}, in the file @var{file}.
 
If no variable names are listed, Octave saves all the variables in the current
scope.  Otherwise, full variable names or pattern syntax can be used to specify
the variables to save.  If the @option{-struct} modifier is used then the
fields of the @strong{scalar} struct are saved as if they were variables with
the corresponding field names.  The @option{-struct} option can be combined
with specific field names @var{f1}, @var{f2}, @dots{} to write only certain
fields to the file.
 
The @code{save} command may also be invoked using the functional form
 
@example
save ("-option1", @dots{}, "file", "v1", @dots{})
@end example
 
@noindent
where the @var{options}, @var{file}, and variable name arguments (@var{v1},
@dots{}) must be specified as character strings.
 
Valid options for the @code{save} command are listed in the following table.
Options that modify the output format override the format specified by
@code{save_default_options}.
 
@table @code
@item -append
Append to the file instead of overwriting.
 
@item -ascii
Save a matrix in a text file without a header or any other information.  The
matrix must be 2-D and only the real part of any complex value is written to
the file.  Numbers are stored in single-precision format and separated by
spaces.  Additional options for the @option{-ascii} format are
 
@table @code
@item -double
Store numbers in double-precision format.
 
@item -tabs
Separate numbers with tabs.
@end table
 
@item -binary
Save the data in Octave's binary data format.
 
@item -float-binary
Save the data in Octave's binary data format using just single precision.
Use this format @strong{only} if you know that all the values to be saved can
be represented in single precision.
 
@item -hdf5
Save the data in @sc{hdf5} format.  (@sc{hdf5} is a free, portable, binary
format developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the
University of Illinois.)  This format is only available if Octave was built
with a link to the @sc{hdf5} libraries.
 
@item -float-hdf5
Save the data in @sc{hdf5} format using just single precision.  Use this
format @strong{only} if you know that all the values to be saved can be
represented in single precision.
 
@item -text (default)
Save the data in Octave's text data format.  The
@ref{XREFsave_precision,,@code{save_precision}} function specifies the number
of significant figures to use when saving data (default: 17).  The header of
the text data file can be configure with
@ref{XREFsave_header_format_string,,@code{save_header_format_string}}.
 
@item  -v7.3
@itemx -V7.3
@itemx -7.3
Octave does @strong{not} yet implement saving in @sc{matlab}'s v7.3 binary
data format.
 
@item  -v7
@itemx -V7
@itemx -7
@itemx -mat7-binary
Save the data in @sc{matlab}'s v7 binary data format.
 
@item  -v6
@itemx -V6
@itemx -6
@itemx -mat
@itemx -mat-binary
Save the data in @sc{matlab}'s v6 binary data format.
 
@item  -v4
@itemx -V4
@itemx -4
@itemx -mat4-binary
Save the data in @sc{matlab}'s v4 binary data format.
 
@item  -zip
@itemx -z
Use the gzip algorithm to compress the file.  This works on files that are
compressed with gzip outside of Octave, and gzip can also be used to convert
the files for backward compatibility.  This option is only available if Octave
was built with a link to the zlib libraries.
@end table
 
The list of variables to save may use wildcard patterns (glob patterns)
containing the following special characters:
 
@table @code
@item ?
Match any single character.
 
@item *
Match zero or more characters.
 
@item [ @var{list} ]
Match the list of characters specified by @var{list}.  If the first character
is @code{!} or @code{^}, match all characters except those specified by
@var{list}.  For example, the pattern @code{[a-zA-Z]} will match all lower and
uppercase alphabetic characters.
 
Wildcards may also be used in the field name specifications when using the
@option{-struct} modifier (but not in the struct name itself).
 
@end table
 
Programming Notes: If called with the special filename @qcode{"-"} the data to
be saved is returned as a string rather than writing it to an actual file.
 
When saving global variables the global status of the variable is also stored.
If the variable is restored at a later time using @code{load}, it will be
restored as a global variable.  Global status is @emph{not} preserved if
using a @sc{matlab} binary data file format or the @option{-ascii} format.
 
Example:
 
The command
 
@example
save -binary data a b*
@end example
 
@noindent
saves the variable @samp{a} and all variables beginning with @samp{b} to the
file @file{data} in Octave's binary format.
