Is there a way in MATLAB to get the user name of the user that started the session?
I am interested in solutions for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. I imagine that if the solutions are platform-specific, both solutions can be integrated as follows:
if ispc
user_name = % method 1
elseif isunix
user_name = % method 2
elseif ismac
user_name = % method 3
end
if isunix
[~, user_name] = system('whoami') % exists on every unix that I know of
% on my mac, isunix == 1
elseif ispc
[~, user_name] = system('echo %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%') % Not as familiar with windows,
% found it on the net elsewhere, you might want to verify
end
Hope that helps! You might want to also put in a else I'm confused
clause just in case you do find that system that is not unix nor pc.
