Algorithm (Workflow)

This function, named editorwindow, is designed to open the most recently modified MATLAB script file in the editor. It is part of the SolidGeometry library, version 5.1, and was created by Tim Lueth.

Input Parameters

The function does not take any input parameters. It operates on the current directory to find MATLAB script files.

Algorithm Steps

  1. The function uses the dir command to list all files in the current directory with the extension .m, which are MATLAB script files.
  2. The datenum property of each file is extracted using elem2rows(a.datenum). This property represents the last modification date and time of the file.
  3. The files are sorted in descending order based on their modification date using sortrows with the second argument -1. This ensures that the most recently modified file is at the top of the list.
  4. The variable a is updated to contain only the most recently modified file by selecting the first element of the sorted list a(ii(1)).
  5. The editTL function is called with the name of the most recently modified file a.name to open it in the MATLAB editor.
