Corrupted .m file after save function in script?

Hi all,

in a big script of mine I run the 'save filename.m' command to save the executed script in a folder.

However, after creating this file it seems to be corrupted and is not openable with matlab.

I will spare you the content of the file, since it is just gibberish machine code I assume.

How can I save the exact script (that just ran) as a file inside a folder ? - so that I know how the script look liked at the time, and what variables where used.

Thank you very much in advance!

It is currently in a MATLAB® formatted binary file. You probably have to load it back into your workspace. That may restore it.

If you decide to do that again, it would be worthwhile to save it as an ASCII file, described in Save Data to ASCII File (link) in the documentation for save.

Any code that was in filename.m is wiped out and will need to be restored from backups.
