`filemarker`

Returns the character that separates a file name from a local function name.

Category: Programming > Files and Folders

Syntax

m = filemarker

Returns the marker as a character vector.

Description

Some functions accept a name of the form file>localfunction to point at a local function inside a file; the separator is the file marker. Code that builds such names can call filemarker instead of hard-coding the character.

Like filesep and pathsep, the value is fixed for the platform.

Output arguments

m: The text '>'.

Example

Building a local function reference

m = filemarker
name = ['myfile' filemarker 'helper']

Output

m = '>'
name = 'myfile>helper'
