I never got around answering this before, but the standard way to do
this for any computer language is to use either lgrind of vgrind. I
personally recommend lgrind, but it's not much of a difference. If you
don't have it on your computer, you can get it on the CTAN machines
(ie. http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/lgrind/ in England,
change to www.dante.de in Germany and  www.SHSU.edu in the US)

This is a pretty printer that is general for a lot of different
languages. The newest version of lgrind includes support for MATLAB,
the clue is an entry in the lgrindef file that contains definitions
for the language. There are also precompiled versions for PC/OS-2
available at the above site.
