How can you programmatically save a comparison, created through the use of slxmlcomp.compare(), to an HTML file without the use of the Matlab GUI.

I'm currently trying to create an automated script to compare two model files. To compare the two model files I'm using the slxmlcomp.compare(modelname_A, modelname_B) function. When I do this Matlab opens up a comparison window that lists the contents of both model files. On that opened 'model_A vs model_B' window, I can click the 'Save As' button and save the comparison as an HTML file. I would like to know how to achieve this save functionality purely through Matlab script.

Hi,

Try using it with an output argument (in R2016a) :

>> Edits = slxmlcomp.compare(modelname_A,modelname_B);

This then saves the results in an Edits object, and does not open up the comparison window.

Hope this helps,

Anish

Hi Anish,

Thank you for answering. I'm glad to hear that the comparison can be done without the need for a GUI. However, what I'm really after is a way to save a report of the differences in the same way that Matlab's GUI allows you to do so. Specifically, as one of three outputs:

1. HTML
2. Word
3. Basic HTML

Hello,

Did you find any answer on this?

I am stuck at the same point.

htmlString = slxmlcomp.internal.report.compareAndGenerateReport(model1, model2, 'html');

fh = fopen('report.html', 'w');

fprintf(fh, '%s', htmlString);

fclose(fh);

web('report.html');
