matGetVariable (C and Fortran)

Array from MAT-file

C Syntax

#include "mat.h"
mxArray *matGetVariable(MATFile *mfp, const char *name);

#include "mat.h"
mwPointer matGetVariable(mfp, name)
mwPointer mfp
character*(*) name

Pointer to a newly allocated mxArray structure representing the mxArray named by name from the MAT-file pointed to by mfp.

matGetVariable returns NULL in C (0 in Fortran) if the attempt to return the mxArray named by name fails.

This routine allows you to copy an mxArray out of a MAT-file.

Use mxDestroyArray to destroy the mxArray created by this routine when you are finished with it.
