MATLAB: How to stop tabs from opening when I create a new file

MATLABnew file tab

In my script, I create a lot of file (hundreds). At the end of the script, each file is opened in a tab in the editor. Is it possible to stop this from happening?

Thanks.

The files are opened in the line:

edit(newfile)

If you do not want them to be opened, simply omit this line.

If tis was your problem, you can find the solution by using the debugger and stepping through your code line by line until you find the command, which produces the unwanted effects.

MATLAB: Is the external editor preference not honored when creating a New file from the File menu

The 'Text editor' setting is not honored when creating new files from the File menu. It only applies when opening an existing MATLAB file from within MATLAB.

To work around this issue, open a new file using the EDIT command. This will use the text editor specified in the Editor/Debugger preferences instead of the default editor. To create a new file named foo.m, use:

edit foo.m

where foo.m is a filename that does not exist on the MATLAB path.

To open a blank editor without creating a new file, use:

edit

Thomas, to display line numbers in the Live Editor, open a live script, go to the VIEW tab on the very top and select Line Numbers.
