Hey,
I am writing a simple script:
I=imread("original.jpg")
imshow(I)
But then i press run, i get an error:
![](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1344084/image.jpeg)
Workspace, and pahts are setup correctly. Because then I copy paste same command in command window and it runs flowlessly
Looked at all the forums, and does not find anything helpfull.
As I am new on matlab, so maybe i am missing some simple detail ?

What's the name of your script? Does it satisfy the rules listed in that dialog?
Does it start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, or underscores?
Spaces are not allowed in script names, though people often do try to add them. Neither are parentheses, so if you downloaded a file with the same name twice the myscript.m file can be run but the myscript (1).m file cannot.
