Hi,
I am using MATLAB7.12.0(R20011a) version. I got one project from MATLAB File Exchange. That project contains so many matlab Files. But only one file contain P code extension. I can't open that File. How can I open that file. Please Help.

You can use any good-quality editor that supports binary files. Even emacs if you must ;-)
Your difficulty will be in making any sense out of the file after you open it. pcoded (.p) files do not have any usable source code in them. If what you need is the source code, you will need to ask the author of the package for it, but do not be surprised if they say NO. (Blatant bribes of beer (in advance!!) might help, but even that is not certain.)

@Bharat Sanchala: It is your decision if you spend your time with reading Walter's message. So you cannot blame him to waste your time.
Perhaps it helps you, when I explain the underlying message of Walter's answer: P-coding is designed to prevent reding or editing of the files. Therefore asking for a way to "open" them is "funny" already.
@Walter: 27 US$ for a glass or bottle or barrel of beer... Well. Let me take back my comment from 4 Dec 2012. An invitation to one of your favorite restaurants would be a nice solution for the "beer or money" problem.

@bharat ... dude, life is not all about p coding... I guess you missed the whole point of Walter's answer.... and it ain't your question to start with
@Walter... come to Sweden .... at some restaurants, a pint of beer costs around $5 ... the good drinking bars cost cheaper at least ... not relevant to this question I know... but I was more interested on the beer bribe , lol...
