type filename
type filename
displays the contents of the specified file in the MATLAB command window given a full pathname or a MATLABPATH relative partial pathname. Use pathnames and drive designators in the usual way for your computer's operating system.
If you do not specify a filename extension, the type command adds the .m extension by default. The type command checks the directories specified in MATLAB's search path, which makes it convenient for listing the contents of M-files on the screen.
type foo.bar lists the file foo.bar.
type foo lists the file foo.m.
! Operating system command
cd Change working directory
dbtype List M-file with line numbers
delete Delete files and graphics objects
dir Directory listing
path Control MATLAB's directory search path
what Directory listing of M-files, MAT-files, and MEX-files
who List directory of variables in memory
