E.g. <pre class="code"> for i=1:3 fprintf('This is a link #%i <a href="http://www.google.com/#q=number%i" rel="nofollow">Google for %i</a>.\n',i,i,i) end </pre> Chris,

E.g.

for i=1:3

This is because I want to print out hyperlinks for a number of data files dynamically. So far I have not been able to do this. Is this possible?

I found this blog post a few months ago and started using this trick in several functions where one might want to quickly find the piece of code that printed the output. Now that I upgraded to Matlab 2011a, the code does not work any more. This code: <pre> disp('You should &lta href="matlab: opentoline(which(''why.m''),27)">open my file&lt/a>!')</pre> Gives me the following message: "File c:\...\which('why.m') does not exist. [...]" Indicating that the contents of the first parentesis are taken as a literal string and are not evaluated as Matlab code. Does anyone have a workaround, because the hyperlink thing was really useful. Hi.
I found this blog post a few months ago and started using this trick in several functions where one might want to quickly find the piece of code that printed the output.

The link will be to an image from an IP camera, and ideally I would like to save the resulting image. My aim is to write software that records jpegs from an IP camera at X frames per second. Has anyone done something like this? Thanks, Adrian Hi,

You should be able to do this:

disp('<a href="matlab:winopen(''C:\'')">Go to data directory</a>')

In case someone is interested - here is a piece of code that creates a hyperlink to open windows explorer to a particular folder, in this case the c drive: disp('<a href="matlab:dos(''explorer.exe /e, c:\, &'')">Go to data directory</a>') note: including '&' in the dos command input, returns to matlab immediately and the busy state is not an issue.
