Specify MATLAB current working folder after startup
Syntax
MLStartDir(path) MLStartDir path out = MLStartDir(path)
Description
MLStartDir(path) sets
the MATLAB® working folder after startup. Use this syntax
when working directly in a worksheet.
MLStartDir path sets
the MATLAB working folder after startup. Use this syntax
in a VBA macro.
out = MLStartDir(path) lets
you catch errors when executing MLStartDir in a
VBA macro. If MLStartDir fails, then out is
a string containing error code. Otherwise, out is 0.
Input Arguments
path
Path to the new MATLAB working folder after startup.
Output Arguments
out
0 if the command succeeded. Otherwise, a
string containing error code.
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 folder.
The working folder changes only if you run MATLAB after you
run this function. Running this function while MATLAB is running
does not change the working folder for the current session. In this
case, MATLAB uses the specified folder as the working folder
when it is restarted.
