Reading Parameters from a File in MATLAB

(Originally posted on Doug's MATLAB Video Tutorials blog.)

In last week's post, I showed how to generate code in MATLAB to automatically read in a file. In this video I show how to make a simple wrapper function around code generated in that way. This wrapper will allow MATLAB to quickly look up a parameter in a text file. This architecture was picked because I need to have a non-MATLAB user modify parameters when the application is deployed on their site.
