I read this previous question What alternatives are there to the MATLAB Editor? and I am interesting in using another editor so I can also compile my codes with MATALB.
I did what the mentioned link suggested but I cannot see the difference. I went to Preferences Editor/Debbuger and I changed the editor to Notepad++ and nothing happened.
How can I use Notepad++ to compile and run MATALB codes?
P.S. I looked for "run matlab with notpad++" on google but did not find anything interesting.
Also my previous question is related (Can I use MATLAB editor without running MATLAB?).
I answered this a bit more thoroughly here: Running a MATLAB script from Notepad++
Use NppExec add-on and press F6, copy paste the following and save the script:
NPP_SAVE
set local MATPATH=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2015a\bin\matlab.exe
cd "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)"
"$(MATPATH)" -nodisplay -nosplash -nodesktop -r "try,
run('$(CURRENT_DIRECTOR)$(FILE_NAME)'), catch me, fprintf('%s /
%s\n',me.identifier,me.message), end"
When you mean run matlab code, if you just want to edit it and save and then run from MATLAB terminal, then you can use it just regularly as well. Save in notepad, run on MATLAB.
The problem arises when you want MATLAB editor features like debugger, and execute a block of code within %%. You cannot do all of it. You can set breakpoints, How to debug matlab code without gui
I think you wont get the other features of MATLAB editor if you use an external editor.

Im relatively new to programming and just started learning with VS Code.
When I want to output a simple line of code in VSCode in Python e.g.
print("Hello World!")
what happens is that all the output is shown in the terminal window (with a bunch of more information like base(user), the path and so on). Only in between somewhere its written "Hello World!".
How is it possible to display the output in a "clean" way?
I am using a Conda environment. No code runner extension is installed (since this behaviour was present for people who use this extension).
I read that you can add some code to your launch.json file. Where do I find that file and is that really necessary? The output then gets shown in the debugger part. Is that correct and why not in the output window? Where is this "bug" coming from? I expected the output "Hello World" to be shown in the Output window of VSCode in a clean way.
by the way I am not bound to use VSCode. But I thought to get used to a industry standard relatively early would be beneficial. If there are other recommendations feel free to add an alternative environment.
I found a solution:
install code runner
make sure "run in terminal" is unchecked
use shortcut ctrl + opt + n to run the code clean in the output window
I am trying to make terminal interference minimal by removing element I don't need. I am beginner in programming.
I want to remove the highlighted part.:
I am using coderunner and C/C++ Compile Run. I lloked for this on google and but Code-runner: Clear previous output, it does not work for me. Also is there any way I can clear terminal automatically when running the code using ctrl+alt+N instead doing it manually?
If I can't do this in powershell is there any other shell which give this functionality?
I really dislike the MATLAB GUI, thus, I followed some instructions online to open MATLAB via Terminal using matlab -nodesktop. It works. However, I lack the conveniences of syntax highlighting; the sorts that exists in vim, for example.
I am interested in knowing if this is possible.
Try this FileExchange submissions:
Highlighting Matlab files in Vim
Editing Matlab files in Vim
There's Matlab mode for emacs, and also a built-in octave mode which will serve for syntax highlighting.
You can use edit yourfile.m in the terminal to open the matlab editor. This will open the editor without the entire matlab gui. Not sure why you'd want to do this though...
I'm trying to use EMACS as the external editor for MATLAB. After following the directions here: matlab script editing I can get the matlab-shell feature working, but I still don't understand how to use EMACS to write scripts.
When I hit edit in the MATLAB console and get to EMACS, I don't see any MATLAB-specific features. Where are the syntax highlighting, debugging, etc. options?
You need the matlab-emacs integration from here: http://matlab-emacs.sourceforge.net/ - that should get you syntax highlighting. If you already have that installed, perhaps you need to update your auto-mode-alist.
I must admit that while I use emacs extensively for editing, I use the MATLAB editor for debugging.
I am using Matlab on a remote server from my MacBook. Partly because I find the Matlab GUI clunky under X11, I use it in the terminal window (by running matlab -nodesktop). This has been working fine, until I now needed to copy some stuff from the command history.
It seems like history.m is only being saved on exit, even though when I check the settings in the GUI, it says that it is being saved for each command. It also seems like exit statements are included in history.m when Matlab is run from terminal, but not in the GUI, so it seems like the settings in the GUI don't apply there. I cannot find anything in the Matlab help pages on how to change the settings for the terminal window.
I need to access the command history for my session while it is still open. Does anybody have an idea about how I can do this -- short of starting to use the GUI?
You might try the diary function. It logs both commands and their (text based) results to a file. On my system (Mac OSX with MATLAB R2011b), the output does not show up in the diary file immediately, but it does update when you turn off the diary. Which you can do repeatedly if you need without exiting matlab.
