copy_dependencies
Copies all external code files necessary to run a script into a subfolder.
Use cases are for example
- execute on a remote server
- give code away
- for backup / archive
Careful: All necessary code must be on Matlab's path when invoking copy_dependencies; it doesn't warn if anything is currently missing. Therefore to be on the safe side, run the "start_mfile" firstly in order to see if everything works. Afterwards you can run copy_dependencies.
Input arguments
- start_mfile : Existing Matlab file that is supposed to run (required)
- destination : Folder where to save the dependencies (default: new subfolder in current directory)
