How to view the command window history?

Hi all,

If there is a long command being executed and result being displayed, MATLAB does not show the full history in the command window, i.e. if I scroll all the way up in command window I still cannot see the history. Any idea how to check the history in command window if a long result is displayed?

One way could be to store the result in a file, please refer the following link for information on how to do this:

If you are working on scripts that produce a lot of output, you can log all command window output to a file by using the "diary" function.

To start logging:

diary on

To stop logging:

diary off

By default, MATLAB creates a file named diary in the current working directory. You can specify a different file name by passing a string to the diary function, like so:

diary myoutput.txt

This will save all the command window output to myoutput.txt.
