save log of command window in matlab

In MATLAB, you can save the log of the Command Window using the diary command. This command creates a diary file that records all input and output from the Command Window.

To start logging to a file, use the following command:

main.m
diary filename.txt
19 chars
2 lines

Replace filename.txt with the name of the file you want to save the log to. If the file does not exist, MATLAB will create it. If the file already exists, MATLAB will append the log to it.

To stop logging, use the following command:

main.m
diary off
10 chars
2 lines

This will close the diary file.

Note that if you want to append new log to an existing file, you need to use the diary on command before logging again.

main.m
diary on
9 chars
2 lines

This will resume logging, appending new log to the end of the file that was previously created.

Keep in mind that diary logs all input and output to the Command Window, so be careful about any sensitive information that might be included in your session.
