Matlab: Is there a way to get the path of the current script?


I have a script that is not in the current directory or on the search path. I want to get the location of the script from the script. Is this possible in Matlab?


Solution

  • mfilename

    Description

    mfilename returns a string containing the file name of the most recently invoked function. When called from within the file, it returns the name of that file. This allows a function to determine its name, even if the file name has been changed.

    p = mfilename('fullpath') returns the full path and name of the file in which the call occurs, not including the filename extension.

    c = mfilename('class') in a method, returns the class of the method, not including the leading @ sign. If called from a nonmethod, it yields the empty string.
