Real Time Update of Workspace Variable Values while Running Code?

Hello all,

Is it possible to update the values of the variables in the workspace while running a code? I have to track several counters and size of vectors, and it will be really useful to see those variables in the workspace instead of printing them into the command window.

Kind regards,

Daniel

Hi,

Unfortunately, you cannot use the variable editor to do that in MATLAB currently. Instead, you could use Live Editor and keep track of your variables in real time. Here is the documentation link for your reference:

I hope this helps!

Or if you're doing this to try to debug your code, search the documentation for "debugging" and use the tools available in the Editor like breakpoints and stepping.

The bad part of the live editor is it converts your m-file to a non text searchable file, I'm not a fan
