% end
% if ispc
% try %#ok<TRYNC>
% emailtool_nodisplay([mfilename '@mycompany.com'],'myemail@mycompany.com','','',['used by ' username])
% end
% end
You will receive in your Microsoft Oulook Inbox an email letting you know that someone has started your software.
% Usage 2 :
emailtool_nodsiplay can be used to receive notifications if a
code/simulation fails in a try-catch statement for example
You could make the exception message caught in the body message.
% Usage 3 :
Can be used at the end of a successful compilation invoking MATLAB Compiler to automatically send a notification to your peers that a new code has been compiled.
You could send the verbose of mcc -mv in the body message.
% Usage 4 :

All the different syntaxes to run emailtool_nodisplay are documented in the header of M-file.
Example (shown in the screenshot) :
To receive an HTML email in both my Microsoft Outlook Inbox and my Yahoo Mail , I just typed:
>> from = 'MATLAB_Geeky_boy@magnitude-geo.com';
>> to = 'tug83@yahoo.fr';
>> CC = 'aurelien.queffurust@magnitude-geo.com';
>> subject = ['Mail sent via ' version('-release')];
>> attachments ={which('support'),which('why')};
>> messageHTML= ['<html>Please find enclosed the code of support .<br>' char(10),...
'<b>This email has been sent by a MATLAB code created by Aurelien!!</b></html>'];
>> emailtool_nodisplay(from,to,CC,'',subject,messageHTML,attachments,1)
When running the above code , I receive an email with 2 attached files (see screenshot) . The last input argument of emailtool_nodisplay tells my code that I want to send an HTML message . It allows to have the last line of body message in bold in this example. |
