MATLAB Can Mathematica Packages Run Alongside Matlab?

AI Thread Summary
Running a Mathematica package (.m) on a computer with Matlab can lead to file association issues, as the system may misidentify the Mathematica files as Matlab files. This confusion arises because both file types share the same extension. To resolve this, it is essential to provide the initial lines of the problematic package file to diagnose the issue accurately. There are various solutions available to import Mathematica packages despite the file association conflict, but identifying the specific cause of the problem is crucial for finding the appropriate fix.

Just wondering if its possible to run a Mathematica package (package.m) on a computer that also has a copy of Matlab; because my university computer also has Matlab <..meh...> and I can't uninstall it and whenever I try to use the import functino etc... it thinks that the file is from Matlab and "not a Mathematica file type". Also from the desktop all the Mathematica package files "look" like Matlab files.

why opening another thread?
Can you post the first meaningful lines of the package.m you are trying to "run"?
Because, as I said in the other thread, there are plenty of solutions (yes you can 'import' mathematica packages into Mathematica even if .m is associated with whatever other software), but if we don't know what's the cause of the problem there is no way to find the right solution.
