How to edit MAT file in Mac?

Hello, I'm new in using MATLAB! I tried to edit and load the '.mat' file in MATLAB in my Mac.

As I typed

load('file.mat')

it seemed that it successfully loaded the file because the variables were updated in workspace.

However, as I typed

edit 'file.mat'

the file in editor were destroyed.

Is it impossible to edit MAT file in mac?

How can I edit it in mac?

Please help me!

Thank you for reading!:)

Hi Yeji,

You can't directly edit the mat files in MATLAB. Instead you can load the mat files, update the workspace variables and then save it. This way you can get the updated mat file.

Hope this helps.
