Collapse Specific Sections that deal with debugging

I've got a lot of if statments that control output for debuging. Is it possible to fold only specific statements that include my debugging variable.

For example I could have something like:

a = 3

b = 5

if b > a

output = doSomething(a,b);

end

if debug > 0

print(output.summary);

end

if debug > 1

print(output.detailed);

end

I would like to be able to automatically fold all the if statments that include the variable 'debug', but leave the statements that don't include the variable (like the first, if b>a).

Hi,

Based on the question, I understand that you need to know about how code folding works in MATLAB editor.

I am not aware of any method to do the code folding based on a certain keyword in MATLAB.

However, what you can try is just to put the certain part which you want to fold in a section and turn on the code folding based on sections. To do that, adhere the following steps:

1. Go to MATLAB > Home > Preferences.
2. Go to MATLAB > Editor/Debugger > Code Folding
3. Enable the Sections setting here.
4. Click on “Apply” & then “OK”.

Now, whenever you want to fold a certain part of code then you can just put “%%” in the above line & it will create a section for that block. You can check to the below image for reference:

Hope that helps.
