[Matlab-emacs-discuss] running a block of code

[Jody K. <jk...@uc...>]

Hi all,

In light of the new mailing list I thought I'd share this.  I kludged  
up the following snippet to mimic the Matlab editor's ability to run  
a block of code between two "%%" markers.   It also allows you to use  
"paragraph-forward" and "-backwards" on chunks of code.

Cheers,  Jody


(defun jmk-matlab-parastart ()
   "Set the paragraph start for matlab mode."
   (interactive)
   (make-local-variable 'paragraph-start)
   (setq paragraph-start "^\%\%" )
   (make-local-variable 'paragraph-separate)
   (setq paragraph-separate "^\%\%" ))

(add-hook 'matlab-mode-hook 'jmk-matlab-parastart)

;; Matlab function for evaluating the current "paragraph"
(defun jmk-matlab-run-para ()
   "Run the current paragraph."
   (interactive)
     (save-excursion
       (if mark-active (matlab-eei-eval-region (region-beginning)  
(region-end))
	(backward-paragraph)
	(setq beg (point))
	(forward-paragraph)
	(setq end (point))
	(matlab-eei-eval-region beg end))))
