How to get calculations in workspace from GUI?

Hi, I have developed a GUI where user will give inputs. The complete calculation is iterated till 2400 seconds. Now I get only final output. I want to get values for each step in workspace like when we run a .m file. How to do that?

Adi - instead of writing your variables to the workspace, why not just save the results (of the 2400 seconds) to a mat file using save? I think that may be a cleaner approach. Or is there a particular reason why you want to try and access this data from the workspace?

Hi Geoff, I found an bug in my results. The results after calculations are not coming as I have expected. So I wanted to know which calculation is a culprit. I have more than 75 equations interlinked with each other and It's very complicated code to check each and every equation. So by getting results for the equations on workspace, I can see which variable is crossing it's limit and hence giving wrong end result.

As I run my gui, it only gives end result but no variable's values in workspace.

I hope you got my question and requirement.

Each function already has its own workspace, and it is easy to look at the variables inside any workspace using the debugging tools. Although it sounds like a great idea to move everything to the main workspace just to have a look at it, it is much more robust and efficient to use the debugging tools to look at the data exactly in the workspace where it is. This has multiple advantages, including smaller memory usage, ability to trigger based on events of conditions, ability to run arbitrary code in the middle of code execution and the fact that the code stays unchanged.

Learn how to use MATLAB's programming tools and your own life gets much easier and more productive. In your case, where the output is not what you expect, you could use the breakpoints with conditions.
