Extract MATLAB code from file published to HTML
grabcode('name.html')
grabcode('urlname')
code = grabcode('name.html')
grabcode('name.html') copies MATLAB® code
from the file name.html and pastes it into an untitled
document in the Editor. Use grabcode to get MATLAB code
from published files when the source code is not readily available.
The file name.html was created by publishing name.m,
a MATLAB code file containing cells. The MATLAB code from name.m is
included at the end of name.html as HTML comments.
grabcode('urlname') copies MATLAB code
from the urlname location and pastes it into an
untitled document in the Editor.
code = grabcode('name.html') gets MATLAB code
from the file name.html and assigns it the variable code.
This example illustrates how to use grabcode to
get MATLAB code from an existing HTML file:
% Copy sine_wave_f.html and the images it includes
% from the MATLAB examples directory to your
% current folder:
copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc','matlab_env',...
'examples','sine_wave_f.html'), 'my_sine_wave.html')
copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc','matlab_env',...
'examples','sine_wave_f_01.png'), 'sine_wave_f_01.png')
copyfile(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc','matlab_env',...
'examples','sine_wave_f_02.png'), 'sine_wave_f_02.png')
% If you want to view the file, double-click my_sine_wave.html
% in your current folder.
% Extract the MATLAB code from sine_wave_f.html:
code = grabcode('my_sine_wave.html')
MATLAB returns:
code =
