MATLAB: Allow debugging hotkeys (F10, F11, shift-F11,F5, and F12) to work from the MATLAB Command Window.

MATLAB

It would be really convenient if the debugging hotkeys (F10, F11, shift-F11, F5, and F12) worked from the MATLAB Command Window as well as from the MATLAB Editor Window. A lot of times I find myself doing more debugging from the Command Window than the editor because I need to examine complex structs and cell arrays as I single step. It would be much more convenient to press F10 than type 'dbstep' every time. Even up-arrow < return > is a bit tedious because it requires two key strokes and of course requires that the last command executed by the one you are interested in.

This enhancement has been made for Release 14 (R14). For previous product releases, there are no workarounds.

MATLAB: Is there a keyboard short cut like Shift+F5 to exit debug mode

The ability to use keyboard shortcut like "Shift+F5" to exit debug mode is not available in the MATLAB Editor/Debugger for versions prior to R2007a.

To exit debug mode, type

dbquit

in the MATLAB Command Window when in debug mode. Alternatively, in the Editor/Debugger, click the Exit debug mode toolbar button.

MATLAB: How to load multiple files and do the computation for each of them and write the output in consequent rows

Your loop will want to start with grabbing all files in a folder. uigetfile with the MultiSelect option will work wonders here:

[Name,Path]=uigetfile({'*.xlsx*'},'MultiSelect','on');
entirefile=fullfile(Paths,Names);

Then start your loop. It wants to run a number of times equal to the number of elements in your entirefile cell, as you also have in your own code. Within this loop, do all your loading, calculation and writing. To avoid cluttering the workspace, you might want to look into a structure and dot indexing.

for i=1:numel(entirefile);
    %your entire code including
    enginedata(i).raw=importdata(entirefile{i});
    enginedata(i).temperature = your temperature calculation
    enginedata(i).oilpressure = oil pressure calculation
    %and so on
    %finally, to write in consecutive fields the results, simply keep indexing your things:
    celltarget=['B',num2str(i)]; %B1 first run, B2 2nd run etc. 
    writecell(mean_engine_temperature,filename,'Sheet','Temperatures','Range',celltarget);
end
