I have a MATLAB file script that I use to load data into the workspace. Since this script is not located on the path, I use the RUN function to execute the script. I edit this script in another editor and then save it. If I save the file in this manner in between times when it is run from MATLAB, MATLAB does not recognize the changes that were made.
I would like the RUN function to automatically refresh the cached version of my MATLAB file when I execute it.

The ability to automatically refresh the cached version of a MATLAB file when the RUN function is used is not available in MATLAB.
To work around this issue, use the CLEAR function to erase the version of the script that is in memory. If the script is named 'myscript.m', enter the following at the MATLAB command prompt:
clear myscript
The script will then be reloaded when the RUN function is called again.

You could try
feature('accelerator', 'off')
to attempt to disable function and script caching.
