MATLAB: How to run a code only up to a certain line

breakexitquitreturn

I'm in the process of editing an m-file that is pretty lengthy. Instead of running the whole thing, I'd like to run only the first several lines while I make some tweaks.

Is there are a MATLAB equivalent to "exit" in Stata: basically getting MATLAB to run the m-file only up to a specific line in the code?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Either set a breakpoint there (click on the - on the left margin) or put a return statement there.

return; % Exit script or return to calling routine.

This is not an answer for R2012a, but in later Toolstrip releases (R2012b and beyond) you can right-click on the "Run to Cursor" button and choose "Add to Quick Access Toolbar".

You can always assign a keyboard shortcut too, using Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts.

MATLAB: Is there a way to play audio/run a script when matlab debugger stops at a breakpoint

Write a small function

function t = notify()
  beep();
  t = true;

Now, when you set a breakpoint, make it a conditional breakpoint. For example instead of

dbstop at 18

use

dbstop at 18 if notify()
