Running for loop designated number of times in debugger

Hi,

An error occurs in a for loop in my code on the 2nd to last iteration (>1500 runs) and I want to step into some functions in the loop during that iteration but don't want to manually step 1500+ times to get there. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

Instead of setting a regular breakpoint, set either an error breakpoint or a conditional breakpoint whose condition includes the loop variable. See the documentation for instructions on how to set either of those types of breakpoint. In fact the example for conditional breakpoints on that page does exactly what you want to do, breaking on certain iterations of a for loop.

For example,

dbstop at 173 if i == length(A)-1

Hey

What I've been doing so far is putting a breakpoint where "x=1" the manually stepping through the next few steps.

if i == 1499
  x=1;
end

Stumbled across this while looking for a cleaner solution, though.

Best of luck
