.chm file opening at a given index page from Matlab

Question

I am trying to open a specific page within a .chm file from a Matlab GUI with the web function. Following the instructions and comments found here I have got the url of the desired page (mk:@MSITStore:D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html). However, when I write the command I need at the prompt

web('mk:@MSITStore:D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html','-browser')

it does not work (nothing happens neither an error message). I also have tried the following:

• web('D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html','-browser')
• web('ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html','-browser')

without success.

I would like to know what I am doing wrong.

Answer 1

If you're on windows this works:

!hh mk:@MSITStore:D:\POv9\Ayuda\ayuda.chm::/html/ayuda1.html

This opens the help file in the Microsoft Help Viewer at the specified page.
