Scripts are the simplest type of program file. They are useful for automating a series of MATLAB® commands, such as computations that you have to perform repeatedly from the command line or series of commands you have to reference.
Create a script in a new file or from commands in the Command History.
Add comments to describe your code and allow others to understand it.
Find and Replace Text in Files
Find and replace text in the current file or multiple files. Automatically rename functions or variables.
Use indentation, text-width indication, and code folding to make your code easier to read.
Define code sections within your MATLAB program files to evaluate each section individually.
Open and Save Files in the Editor
Open and save files in the Editor using several different methods.
Program files can be scripts that simply execute a series of MATLAB statements, or they can be functions that also accept input arguments and produce output.
Add functions to scripts to reuse code within a script and avoid creating and managing separate function files.
MATLAB provides options for presenting your code to others, including using publishing and creating live scripts and functions in the Live Editor.
