How to fire the run button automatically for an .m file after a interval of time?

Hello All, I want to run a Matlab(.m file in this respect) file infinitely until I press anything(any key or something, I think cntrl + C may do the work) and that should continue after every interval of time.

Thanks :)

Is the idea that when you press the key, the running should pause, and then restart a fixed amount of time later?

If so, then what kinds of things do you need to be able to do when it is paused? Do you need to be able to access the variables? Or is it just something like you want to give a moment to freeze a graph so that you can read it clearly ?

Yes, when I press the key the whole looping(or execution of the program should stop). I should be able to see the latest outcome.

In a simple way I need to run the whole program in infinite looping. And should be able to break the loop while I press cntrl + c. Is that clear now? :)

control-C already stops the function from running (though if it is doing heavy arithmetic or heavy computation in the symbolic toolbox then it might take time.)

How about using a timer?
