Help saving a vector to the workspace that is output from a function.

Hello. I currently have the function shown below:

 function [numout, outvec]= SCAN_DATAmgl(vectin, lowlim, uplim)

 %Compares each element of vectin against lowlim and uplim and returns 

 %a count (numout) of how many vector elements are greater than or less than the 

 %limits and a vector (outvec) of the actual out-of-limit readings

 numout = 0;

 for k = 1:length(vectin);

     if vectin(k)>lowlim && vectin(k)<uplim;

          numout = numout + 1;
          outvec(numout) = vectin(k);

     end

 end

The function outputs the vector 'outvec' but it does not save it to the workspace. I need it in the workspace so that after I call the function in an m-file, I can display the vector. How do I do this?

How are you calling the function? To get the variables in the workspace make sure you are capturing two outputs. E.g., call it like this:

[numout, outvec] = SCAN_DATA(vectin, lowlim, uplim);
