Thread Subject: how to terminate running matlab script?

If i program a script that is taking longer than I expect, what is the way to stop it without closing matlab?

control - c

thanks a lot, somehow this has definitely sped up my work!

Hi all,
Is there a script instead of ctrl+c?

if you put: error('your quitting error message') in an
mfile, that'll hop out of your code... is that what you're
looking for?

That's it.

Thanks...

I'm also looking for a matlab function that replaces Ctrl+C. 'error' is not good for my purpose because it is cought somewhere along the way and my program does not stop.
I want to call the same function that makes Matlab terminate when I press Ctrl+C.

There is no way to do that in any version of Matlab that has been released to date.

Thanks, at least I'll stop trying.
