Don't forget to leave the semi-colon off the toc() if you want it to display.

Here's the code:

diary("output.txt");

tic();
d=readm("d.dat");
toc()


tic();
N=readm("N.dat");
toc()


tic();
x = solve(N,d,"S");
toc()

Here's the output.txt file:

// RLaB diary file: output.txt. Opened Fri May 31 10:53:02 2013


tic();
d=readm("d.dat");
toc()
        0  


tic();
N=readm("N.dat");
toc()
      3.8  


tic();
x = solve(N,d,"S");
toc()
     14.5

If you run it interactively, by cutting-and-pasting the code directly into the RLaB window (or by typing the commands at the RLaB prompt one at a time), here's the output that will display on the screen:
