Execute code if m-file runs into error

I have tried finding the answer to this problem, but only got 'old' results which did not pose a solution. Maybe by now there is one.

I am controlling a combustion process using an m-file, which occasionally runs into errors (mostly scripting errors and typos). Having an error while the combustion is unstable, for example, is quite dangerous, so I want Matlab to execute a few lines of code whenever the m-file runs into an error. This is just simply closing the gas valve and turning the fan on.

Is there any solution for this? The problem is that most errors are scripting errors, which don't just give an error but also stop the mfile running...

Thanks!

use try and catch at all suspect instances. This will solve your case.

But when you call a blob a script, it should not have scripting errors or typos;)

What do you mean with a blob? I'm currently developing algorithms for measurements, generally 2k lines, so a typo is not very strange imho.

I'll try the 'try and catch' commands.

blob means text. If some text qualifies to be called script or code, it should atleast be free of typhos and such errors. Did not mean to hurt you:)
