MATLAB: How to save to a variable and/or file, an error message from a guide

Question

When I get an error message from a guide, how can I save them to a variable or a file? Thank you Denise

Answer 1

In the code that you think might generate an error, instead of calling

   Some Statement Here

encode it in a try/catch block that does whatever you want with the error

   try
     Some Statement Here
   catch ME
     %deal with the error the way you need
     fprintf('Caught error "%s" with details "%s"\n', ME.identifier, ME.message);
   end
