Copying a block and dynamically changing the name and sub block names.

I have several blocks, all of which contain a matlab script and input/outputs with To Workspace blocks to log the data. I would like to be able to copy a block, and dynamically when changing the copied block name, for the To Workspace variable name to change accordingly.

I know this can be done with a callback and set_param, but my problem is the block path: When copying/pasting a block, a new path is generated, but this new path is not considered in the callback, therefore it will only change the original block.

Is there a way to dynamically write the path of a block in a callback or code, such that if I copy and paste this block, the aforementioned situation works?

Thanks!

The question is not very clear. You might be able to use gcb, gcbh, getfullname().

Sorry for that! But I found a way. It is indeed with gcb, but the key was to use the namechangefcn for a callback. This way, everytime somebody changes the name, my callback code is executed to read the new name and change the name of the variable.
