attach matlab code in latex

[ladil123]

Hello!

Im writing a technical report with "article" as documentclass in Latex.

I want to attach my matlab code in the appendix.
If I copy and paste the text it wont look like the matlab code but it will look like a report..

What command should I use so the text just looks like it is ?

Enter the matlab code in a "verbatim" environment. (I.e. \begin{verbatim}..code..\end{verbatim})

If you want something fancier, you can try the listings package

I second the use of the listings (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/listings.html) package. I put the following in my document preamble whenever I need to include MATLAB code in a LaTeX document:
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage[usenames,dvipsnames]{color}
% This is the color used for MATLAB comments below
\definecolor{MyDarkGreen}{rgb}{0.0,0.4,0.0}

% For faster processing, load Matlab syntax for listings
\lstloadlanguages{Matlab}%
\lstset{language=Matlab, % Use MATLAB
frame=single, % Single frame around code
basicstyle=\small\ttfamily, % Use small true type font
keywordstyle=[1]\color{Blue}\bf, % MATLAB functions bold and blue
keywordstyle=[2]\color{Purple}, % MATLAB function arguments purple
keywordstyle=[3]\color{Blue}\underbar, % User functions underlined and blue
identifierstyle=, % Nothing special about identifiers
% Comments small dark green courier
commentstyle=\usefont{T1}{pcr}{m}{sl}\color{MyDark Green}\small,
stringstyle=\color{Purple}, % Strings are purple
showstringspaces=false, % Don't put marks in string spaces
tabsize=5, % 5 spaces per tab
%
%%% Put standard MATLAB functions not included in the default
%%% language here
morekeywords={xlim,ylim,var,alpha,factorial,poissr nd,normpdf,normcdf},
%
%%% Put MATLAB function parameters here
morekeywords=[2]{on, off, interp},
%
%%% Put user defined functions here
morekeywords=[3]{FindESS, homework_example},
%
morecomment=[l][\color{Blue}]{...}, % Line continuation (...) like blue comment
numbers=left, % Line numbers on left
firstnumber=1, % Line numbers start with line 1
numberstyle=\tiny\color{Blue}, % Line numbers are blue
stepnumber=5 % Line numbers go in steps of 5
}

% Includes a MATLAB script.
% The first parameter is the label, which also is the name of the script
% without the .m.
% The second parameter is the optional caption.
\newcommand{\matlabscript}[2]
{\begin{itemize}\item[]\lstinputlisting[caption=#2,label=#1]{#1.m}\end{itemize}}
These settings are based on those used in a LaTeX homework template by Ted Pavlic (http://links.tedpavlic.com/ascii/homework_new_tex.ascii).

I used mcode.sty (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/files/8015/mcode.sty) for this, and it did a fine job for me.
