Syntax

c = pathsep

Description

Examples

Extract each individual path from the string returned by matlabpath. Use pathsep to define the path separator:

s = matlabpath;
p = 1;

while true
   t = strtok(s(p:end), pathsep);
   disp(sprintf('%s', t))
   p = p + length(t) + 1;
   if isempty(strfind(s(p:end), pathsep)) break, end;
end

disp(sprintf('%s', s(p:end)))
