MATLAB: Workspace variable

workspace variable

My program stores data in a workspace variable. The variable is visible only when the program is done running. I was wondering if it's possible to see that workspace variable in the workspace window as the pgrogram is running and see it's content grow.

You could put a pause statement or debug. MATLAB is not going to take the time to update the WS viewer. How long does your code take to run?

If you only want to pause when specific conditions are satisfied, you can put the pause or keyboard statement inside an if clause.

Another option is to use conditional breakpoints. See http://blogs.mathworks.com/community/2010/08/09/debugging-points/.

MATLAB: Is there a hot key that I can use to randomly pause the execution of the MATLAB program in debug mode

The ability to use a hot key to pause randomly during the execution of a program and probe the variables in scope is not available in MATLAB.

As a workaround, execute

dbstop if error

before running your program. When you hit Ctrl-C at the MATLAB command prompt, you will see the error

??? Operation terminated by user during ==> filename at linenumber

MATLAB will pause in debug mode and you can inspect the function workspace.
