How can I access the name, path, extension or format of the report being generated in MATLAB Report Generator 3.2.1 (R2007b)?

I am creating a report in MATLAB Report Generator and would like to know how I can include the name, path, extension and format of the current report being generated.

In order to include this information in a report you will need to write a custom component that extracts this data from the XML structure which is used when the document is generated. The execute() function of the report should contain the following code:

function out=execute(thisComp,parentDoc,varargin)

% Find root of report object

root = thisComp;

while ~isempty(root.getParent)

      % We have not arrived at the top level yet, so go up once more

      root = root.getParent;

end

% Get the current report

report = root.getCurrentRpt;

% Obtain data from report object

keyboard

[p,n,e] = fileparts(report.getChunkFileName);

% The filename of the report

reportName = n;

% The extension of the report

reportExtension = e;

% The directory name in which the report is generated

reportDirectory = report.getrptname;

% The format of the report

outputformat = report.getPropValue('Format');

% Add something useful here to out before quitting

out =[];
