Exiting from a script without closing MATLAB

While writing my MATLAB script, I've found that exiting the script is done by adding the line

exit

... which does end the script - but it also closes MATLAB completely.

How can I prematurely end a script, without closing MATLAB?

- As one possibility, is there a way to jump to / skip to / go to a line at the end of the script file?

- Are there other, better possibilities?

Here's what I have so far:

Mode = menu('Choose a Difficulty: ', 'Easy', 'Medium', 'Hard', 'Expert')

switch Mode
  case (1)
      ...
  case (2)
      ...
  case (3)
      ...
  case (4)
      ...
  otherwise
       button = menu('Giving up already?','Yes','No');
        switch button
          case 1,
            display('Exiting Game');
            savefile = 'GameBestTime.mat';
            save(savefile,'BestTime');
            exit
          case 2,
            quit cancel;
          case 0,
            quit cancel;
        end
end

You could throw an error, but you probably don't want to do that.

The code you show would be in a loop. Change the "exit" to "break" to cause the code to exit the loop and continue on with the next statement after the loop.

This is neither an answer, or a clean approach to terminating a script without completely quiting Matlab.

For some reason, that wasn't working yesterday. But it is now, for some reason.

Alright, thanks!
