load('full/path/to/file', 'variable1', 'variable2');

I assumed you wanted to load variables from this MATLAB-specific file. Were you looking to load some other file (image, etc)?

Hi Victoria,

The following command might help you.

load('full path to file\file_name.mat');

For example, I used below command to load a file "test_data.mat" from my desktop to my MATLAB workspace.

load('C:\Users\singh\OneDrive\Pictures\test_data.mat');
