Description
Cache is a lightweight MATLAB addon for archiving and restoring workspace variables to disk.
The Cache.archive function saves a specified workspace variable into a compressed archive file (Archived_Matlab_Variables.zip) on the chosen disk and removes the variable from the workspace. This allows you to temporarily offload large variables while keeping them securely stored.
The Cache.unarchive function restores a previously archived variable back into the caller workspace and removes it from the archive, maintaining clean storage management.
Syntax
Cache.archive(variable)
Cache.archive(variable, disk)
Cache.unarchive('variable')
Cache.unarchive('variable', disk)
