openAndGoToLine()
Input 1 is a string identifying the absolute path to the file.
Input 2 is an integer indicating the line number to go to.
matlab.desktop.editor.openAndGoToLine(file, lineNum);
Example: Open the fit() function to line 20
matlab.desktop.editor.openAndGoToLine(which('fit.m'), 20);
[Addendum]
Here's a fancy way of creating a link in the command window that will take you to the file and line number when clicked.
file = 'fit.m';
line = 20;
hotlinkcode = sprintf('Go to <a href="matlab: matlab.desktop.editor.openAndGoToLine(which(''%s''), %d) ">%s line %d</a>', file, line, file, line);
disp(hotlinkcode)
