% PURPOSE: makes pretty contents.m files for the Econometrics Toolbox % Copies the H1 line (first comment line) of all m-files found % in the current working directory to a file named "contents.m". % If such a file already exists, a backup copy of it is made to % "contents.old". % % USAGE: type make_contents while in a directory with .m MATLAB functions % ----------------------------------------------------------------------- % NOTES: This program requires that the first line in the function % take the form: % % PURPOSE: function purpose statement % (which is the form taken by Econometrics Toolbox functions) % % It is important to note that any fancy editing done to a previous % version of contents.m will be lost. Only the top two lines from the % old version are copied to the new version, but that number can easily % be increased by minor modifications to the code. Use the top few % lines of your contents.m files to describe in general terms what kinds % of tasks are performed by your m-files. % ----------------------------------------------------------------------- % This program was hacked by: % % James P.
