updateFileSeparator

Update file separator character for file lists in build information

Syntax

updateFileSeparator(buildinfo,separator)

Description

updateFileSeparator(buildinfo,separator) changes instances of the current file separator (/ or \) in the build information to the specified file separator.

The default value for the file separator matches the value returned by the MATLAB^® command filesep.

For template makefile (TMF) approach builds, you can override the default by defining a separator with the MAKEFILE_FILESEP macro in the template makefile. If the GenerateMakefile parameter is set, the code generator overrides the default separator and updates the build information after evaluating the PostCodeGenCommand configuration parameter.

Examples

updateFileSeparator(myBuildInfo,'\');
