Never mind, I figured out how to do this with onCleanup:
classdef FileReader
% FileReader very simple file reader
properties
fid
end
properties(Access=protected)
cleanup
end
methods
function obj = FileReader(file)
obj.fid = fopen(file, 'r');
obj.cleanup = onCleanup(@() obj.delete);
end
function varargout = read(obj,varargin)
[varargout{1:nargout}] = fread(obj.fid, varargin{:});
end
function delete(obj)
fclose(obj.fid);
disp('file closed!')
end
end
end
