MATLAB: Does the WHICH command not find MATLAB files within a package directory in MATLAB 7.9 (R2009b)

MATLAB

I have created a package called 'mypackage', which contains 'myfunction1.m' and 'myfunction2.m'. When I navigate to the 'mypackage' directory and execute

which myfunction1
which myfunction2
 I receive the following error messages:
 'mypackage.myfunction1' not found.
 'mypackage.myfunction1' not found.

Best Answer

WHICH does not search through individual MATLAB files within a package directory. To find specific MATLAB files within a package, execute the following:

which mypackage.myfunction1
which mypackage.myfunction2

MATLAB: How to restore breakpoints in MATLAB files that were defined inside a package directory with MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

In order to restore the breakpoints that were set in MATLAB files that were organized into a package or methods in @-directories, the DBSTATUS structure must be created with the '-completenames' switch like so:

dbstatus('-completenames');

This results in the "name" field of the resulting structure to contain the full path information as well.

Note that in MATLAB R2015b and later releases, this error does no longer occur.

MATLAB: Does WHAT return incorrectly when the current directory is not the folder containing the MATLAB file in question in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)

There are two ways to obtain a correct result from the WHAT command:

1. Set the current directory to the folder that contains the @classfolder.

2. Specify the entire path as an input to WHAT such as:

what('C:\Work\@myAtclass/private')
