sorry, could you tell me how to use-call it? \matlabscript[caption=...,label=...] ? thank you in advance

Friend, you must copy/paste the 46 lines above in your LateX code, before the beginning of your "\begin{document}" statement.

Pay Attention on line 46. You must define de location of repository of MatLab scripts, so I made a little modification in a parameter for my necessity, changing "{#1.m}" for "{./MATLAB_code/#1.m}", to put all scripts in a organized place.

Inside the document, you can put the MatLab code like this:
\matlabscript{Name_Of_Your_MatLab_Script}

So, the "Name_Of_Your_MatLab_Script", is like this:

% --------- Initial definitions
clc
clear

And.. works with .m or .mlx But in the parameter of /matlabscript{} don't need the extension, only the name.

I hope it could be helpful.

That's wonderful!! Thanks a lot!!
To help if someone need it:

Adding to tgiorgetti's reply, you should call \matlabscript{}{}
The first arg {code_file_name} without .m
The second arg {caption} that is optional, will show a caption above the code.

You can change que caption "listing" name:
\renewcommand{\lstlistingname}{Code}% Listing -> Code

and position (from line 46) adding ",captionpos=b":
{\begin{itemize}\item[]\lstinputlisting[caption=#2,label=#1,captionpos=b]{./codes/#1.m}\end{itemize}}

I hope it could be helpful (2).

Thank you!

I'm using it with the beamer class. I had an issue with the color package:
LaTeX Error: Option clash for package color. [...] The package color has already been loaded with options: []

Removing \usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color} from the preamble and setting the document option xcolor={usenames,dvipsnames} fixed the error.

I report just in case somebody else runs into the same issue.

Thanks for the gist :)
