How to get names of input ports on simulink block?

Is there a way to get the name of the input ports on a Simulink block? I don't mean the names of the signals coming into the block (which are fairly simple to get), but the names assigned to the inports themselves?

Hi @Adam Truelove,

You can utilize the 'get_param' function on any custom Simulink block that contains Inports or Outports to obtain the handle for that block. With this handle, you can then use 'find_system' to identify all 'Inports' or 'Outports' and subsequently retrieve their names.

blockHandle=get_param(gcb,'Handle'); %set the current block appropriately
portHandle=find_system(blockHandle,'BlockType','Inport');
portNames = cellstr(get_param(portHandle, 'Name'));

For more information on 'get_param' and 'find_system', you can refer to their respective documentation pages by executing the following commands from MATLAB Command Window:

doc get_param
doc find_system

Thanks.
