Hi,

I want to use m-files with Matlab. Since I work with different people at one m-file (but also when I work alone with them), it is very convenient to have some information in the header, when the file was last modified, ant to have a version or author reference.

I wonder if there is any possibility to include such information automatically. When I look at Matlab function (random example: rand.m), I find in the header something like this:

from rand.m, lines 59-61.

% Copyright 1984-2008 The MathWorks, Inc.
% $Revision: 1.1.6.2 $ $Date: 2008/09/13 06:57:03 $
% Built-in function.

In the middle line, it looks like some date and time was included automatically (although, I admit, tha's a guess).

Anyone knows something about such features? It would be a great help.

Thanks.

You should investigate using revision control software.

And in fact MATLAB can interface with some revision control systems:
