type

Purpose

List file

Syntax

Description

type filename displays the contents of the specified file in the MATLAB command window given a full pathname or a MATLABPATH relative partial pathname. Use pathnames and drive designators in the usual way for your computer's operating system.

If you do not specify a filename extension, the type command adds the .m extension by default. The type command checks the directories specified in MATLAB's search path, which makes it convenient for listing the contents of M-files on the screen.

Examples

type foo.bar lists the file foo.bar.

type foo lists the file foo.m.
