is there a way to print the Matlab .m source code file with all subroutines?

Hi all, Suppose you have written a program A.m, and you want to print it out. Inside A.m you used functions that you've previousy written, say B.m, C.m, D.m. And inside each of these subroutines you have other subroutines called E.m, F.m, G.m, etc... And there are many of these programs. You'd like to print them all out. Is there a way this can be done automatically and in a batch mode? Currently for hundreds of such programs, I have to open each program one by one and then click to print each one by one... very time consuming... Thanks!

You don't have to open them using the matlab editor. Use any editors you like. If you're in linux, you can simply concatenate them together using the 'cat' command. If you're not in linux, I suggest learning the Perl language (even if you are in linux, I suggest this). Perl can help you deal with multiple text files in intelligent ways. It's not easy to learn though, but the initial time invested is so much worth it in the long run. I've probably saved hundreds of hours alone by using perl for various tasks such as what you describe. In general a logical approach would be to order the filenames in order of appearance within the code. If A.m calls A1.m and A2.m, and A1.m calls A1a.m and A1b.m, you'd have A.m A1.m A1a.m A1b.m A2.m B.m .... then concatenate these together, convert to postscript or pdf (linux: man enscript, windows: MS Word/Open office Writer), then print.

(since when I develop programs, I put them all under local directory...) How to do that?

But on Windows you might also opt for latex with the listings package. I know that listings does matlab pretty printing and highlighting. To write a small (matlab?) program which fills in a latex template is quite easily achieved. I did it once and it worked like a charm. To spice things up you might also consider using the package fancyheader. Michael
