How do I update the workspace while a script is running in MATLAB?

I need my workspace to update every so often (like every X seconds) or (after a certai开发者_如何转开发n loop finishes).

Is there a command to update the workspace?

Added (4/1/11) while a script is running (it takes like 10 mins to run), I want to see what the values of the variables in the Workspace are doing

Not the exact answer to your question. I don't think it's possible, unless some undocumented feature exists.

I would advise you to use WHOS function to display workspace variables in run-time. You can do it not every iteration. Here is an example code to illustrate the point:

ivector=[];
for ii=1:100
    ivector = [ivector ii];
    pause(0.01)
    if mod(ii,20)==0 %# do whos every 20th iteration
        whos
    end
end

You can show only certain variables with whos ivector, for example.

Just don't put the semi-colon at the end, and it will print whatever variable:

while flag==0,
flux=flux*(1/(1-reactivity))
n=n+1;
if n>=20,
    flag=1;
end

This will display flux every time it loops.
