Hi, I tried "type(matfilename)" to get the mat file version, but this command will type out the contents of the mat file, not the version. So how to get the version of a mat file? Thanks in advance!

fread() the first 16 bytes of the file.
'MATLAB 5.0 MAT-file' -> MATLAB 5.0 or 7.0 .mat file, saved with -v6 flag or with -v7 or (typically) with no -v flag
'MATLAB 7.3 MAT-file' -> MATLAB 7.3 .mat
no 'MATLAB' string at beginning but you know it is a .mat file -> .mat saved with -v4 flag
If you need to detect whether a file was stored with -v6 versus -v7 then there would be more work involved. The header does not differentiate between the two, but since -v6 does not support compression, it would be possible to look for clues such as the existence of compressed variables
