MATLAB correlation matrix

Do you know a matlab script that gets the correlation matrix of a dataset, e.g. numbe of columns = 7 and rows = n → 7

 x1      x2      x3      x4     x5     x6      x7 

0.780   2.042   2.754   2.894  5.000  5.000  5.000
0.767   0.816   2.758   2.898  5.000  1.644  1.626
0.816   0.836   1.558   2.124  2.952  5.000  5.000
0.848   0.871   1.588   2.147  2.966  5.000  5.000
1.378   1.620   1.433   2.567  3.268  3.203  5.000

Give it a try corrcoef.

In general, you can find such things right away by doing a search in the online help, for example, using a convenient command lookfor:

>> lookfor correlation
corrcoef                       - Correlation coefficients.
msfuncorr                      - an M-S-function which performs auto- and cross-
...

>> help corrcoef
CORRCOEF Correlation coefficients.
   R=CORRCOEF(X) calculates a matrix R of correlation coefficients for
   an array X, in which each row is an observation and each column is a
   variable.

for instance

load file.txt
result= CORRCOEF(file);
