\title{Convert Matlab function to R}
\usage{
matlab2r(
  filename,
  output = "diff",
  improve_formatting = TRUE,
  change_assignment = TRUE,
  append = FALSE
)
}
\arguments{
\item{filename}{name of the file}

\item{output}{can be "asis", "clean", "save" or "diff"}

\item{improve_formatting}{if `TRUE` (default), makes minor changes
to conform to best-practice formatting conventions}

\item{change_assignment}{if `TRUE` (default), uses `<-` as the assignment operator}

\item{append}{if `FALSE` (default), overwrites file; otherwise, append
output to input}
}
\value{
text converted to R, printed to screen or replacing input file
}
\description{
Performs basic syntax conversion from Matlab to R
}
\note{
This function is intended to expedite the process of converting a
Matlab function to R by making common replacements. It does not have the
immediate goal of outputting a ready-to-use function. In other words,
after using this function you should go back to it and make minor changes.

It is also advised to do a dry-run with `output = "clean"` and only switching
to `output = "save"` when you are confident that no important code will be
lost (for shorter functions, a careful visual inspection should suffice).
