Examples

Open the airframe project and create a project object.

sldemo_slproject_airframe;
proj = simulinkproject;

Use findFile to get a file by name. You need to know the path if it is inside subfolders under the project root.

myfile = findFile(proj,'models/AnalogControl.slx')
myfile = 

  ProjectFile with properties:

      Path: [1x86 char]
    Labels: [1x1 slproject.Label]
  Revision: '2'
SourceControlStatus: Unmodified

Alternatively, you can examine files by index. Get the first file.

file = proj.Files(1);

Find out what you can do with the file.
