Thread Subject: dbstop in m file

I would like to use a command I can include in a .m file that enable to be in debug mode just after the command. Actually it is possible to use:
dbstop in myfile at line_number
but the problem is that the dbstop will occur always at the same line into the file. If I modify the file (including or deleting code) then the dbstop will not be at the same place in my code. Example:
myfile.m is:
1- if a>1
2- b=2;
3- else
4- b=3;
5- end;
I want to include a dbstop just after "b=3". Then if I use "dbstop in myfile at 4" then it's ok. Now if I modify myfile with:
1- b=0;
2- z=4;
3- if a>1
4- b=2;
5- else
6- b=3;
5- end;

Then the command "dbstop in myfile at 4" will be after b=2.

I would like to use something that I can include into the code like "dbstop now" that put me in debug mode just after the command. Whatever modifications of the file, the debug will still occur just after the command.

Does anyone know if such a command exist?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you Bruno! It remains a minor drawback: the command keyboard just give you control in the command window but does not open in the editor the mfile where it is stopped (as dbstop does). Any other ideas?

Anyway it is already not bad!

You can add:
edit myfile.m

right before keyboard

You're not meant to be doing this with commands. You are meant to be inserting breakpoints directly in the editor.

That's precisely what I would like to avoid because all breakpoints disapear with a "clear all" command.

You could insert a specific warning message that implies you'd like to stop for debugging, then set a dbstop for just that identifier.

For example

function testing
disp('hi');
warning('stophere:testing', 'Just testing');
disp('hello');


>> dbstop if warning stophere:testing;
>> testing
