Matlab - Path to the Current Script

Question

Under any two years recent version of MATLAB, I am looking for the path of the current script being executed (ref.1, 2, 3, 4, 5),

Let's say, for a script through any of the following user procedures, in general, when a user runs a script:

• The "Run", "Run and Advance", "Run Section" or "Run and Time" menu buttons,
• The "Evaluate Selection" or "Evaluate Current Selection" contextual menus from the Editor,
• The F9 or Ctrl+Enter keyboard shortcuts from the Editor.

User procedures that could not be accepted by the solution, because there would be no associated script, are:

• Executing a piece of code directly in the command line,
• The contextual or keyboard shortcuts for executing a code from a Matlab interface or windows outside the Editor -Document, Browser, Help.

User procedures out of the scope of the question related to functions, which could be solved easily through any of the following indicated solutions, is:

• Calling the script as a function from the command line, from another script or from a function.

This is not for a function, which is trivially done through any of the following alternatives:

mfilename
mfilename('fullpath') 
which(mfilename)
which('mfilename')
S = dbstack('-completenames');S(1).file
[folder,name,ext] = fileparts(which('object'))

And this is of course not the same that requesting the current folder through:

cd
pwd

Answer 1

edit I misunderstood the question initially...

So with hopefully a bit better understanding you could try and utilise:

matlab.desktop.editor.getActiveFilename

to get the current active file in the editor -> which should give the current script...

Note: this is an undocumented function which may change between releases -> it gives me the active filename in r2015b.
