Open the Times Table App project and create a project object you can use to manipulate the project at the command line.

openExample("matlab/TimesTableProjectExample")
proj = matlab.project.currentProject
proj = 

  Project with properties:

                        Name: "Times Table App"
                 Description: "This example project contains the source code and tests for a simple educational app."
                  RootFolder: "C:WorkSpace\TimesTableProjectExample\TimesTableApp"
                    TopLevel: 1
                    ReadOnly: 0
         DefinitionFilesType: FixedPathMultiFile
    SourceControlIntegration: "Git"
          RepositoryLocation: "C:WorkSpace\repositories\TimesTableProjectExample"
                       Files: [1×13 matlab.project.ProjectFile]
                   Shortcuts: [1×4 matlab.project.Shortcut]
                  Categories: [1×1 matlab.project.Category]
                Dependencies: [1×1 digraph]
                StartupFiles: [1×0 string]
               ShutdownFiles: [1×0 string]
                 ProjectPath: [1×2 matlab.project.PathFolder]
           ProjectReferences: [1×0 matlab.project.ProjectReference]
         SimulinkCacheFolder: ""
         DependencyCacheFile: ""
        ProjectStartupFolder: "C:WorkSpace\TimesTableProjectExample\TimesTableApp"
       SimulinkCodeGenFolder: ""

Close the project. Then, create a project object.

close(proj)
proj = matlab.project.currentProject
proj = 

  1×0 Project array with properties:

    Name
