So we need to figure out a way to configure the matlab files we are given without using matlab if that is even possible.
How to open matlab files without matlab.
Does anyone know if there is a free and easy way to open a matlab fig file without actually having matlab itself.
Otherwise open files in binary mode for better performance.
Open fig file without having matlab.
Open or create a new file in text mode if you want to write to it in matlab and then open it in microsoft notepad or any text editor that does not recognize n as a newline sequence.
Filename can include a full or partial path.
For an example see fprintf.
When writing to the file end each line with r n.
If filename does not include an extension matfile appends mat.
Otherwise matfile searches for the file along the matlab search path.
If someone wants to point me in the right direction that would be great.
If the file does not exist matfile creates a version 7 3 mat file on the first assignment to a variable.
