MLStartDir - Specify MATLAB^® current working directory after startup

Syntax

Description

Sets the MATLAB working directory after startup. This function does not work like the standard Microsoft^® Windows^® Start In setting, because it does not automatically run startup.m or matlabrc.m in the specified directory.

Note   The working directory changes only if you run MATLAB after you run this function. Running this function while MATLAB is running does not change the working directory for the current session. In this case, MATLAB uses the specified directory as the working directory when it is restarted.

Examples

Set the MATLAB working directory to d:\work after startup:

MLStartDir ("d:\work")

If your directory path includes a space, embed the path in single quotation marks within double quotation marks. For example, to set the MATLAB working directory to d:\my work, run the command:

MLStartDir ("'d:\my work'")
