How to arrange the constraints shape to A matrix and b constants automatically ( Ax <= b)??

Hi. I'm not good at MATLAB so please help me^^
I want to solve LP problem using "linprog",
so I have to make inequality constraints to A matrix and b constants. (Ax <= b)
And my inequality constraint's variables are mixed each other, so I have to arrange the constraints.
For example,
x1 + x2 <= x3 + x4 + 1 ; % constraint 1
X3 <= x1 + 10 ; % constraint 2
x2 + x4 <= 7 ; % constraint 3
In this situation, how can I make shape "Ax <= b" automatically??
It means I don't have to code one by one.

Rearrange your constraint
Px1 <= Qx2 + c
(P - Q - c)*(x1', x2', 1)' <= 0
% for x1 + x2 <= x3 + x4 + 1
P = x1 + x2
Q = x3 + x4 + 1
% As Ax <= b
A = P - Q
b = zeros(size(A,1),1)

Using the problem-based solvers, you do not have to build things in matrix form, e.g.,
x=optimvar('x',4,'LowerBound',0,'UpperBound',20);
con(1)=x(1) + x(2) <= x(3) + x(4) + 1 ; % constraint 1
con(2)=x(3) <= x(1) + 10 ; % constraint 2
con(3)=x(2) + x(4) <= 7 ; % constraint 3
sol=solve( optimproblem('Objective',-sum(x),'Constraints',con) )
However, if you really must have the matrices, then you can use prob2matrices,
p=prob2matrices({x},'Constraints',con)

% Let x = [x1; x2; x3; x4]
% x1 + x2 <= x3 + x4 + 1 ; % constraint 1
% => [1 1 -1 -1]*x <= 1
% X3 <= x1 + 10 ; % constraint 2
% => [-1 0 1 0]*x <= 10
% x2 + x4 <= 7 ; % constraint 3
% => [0 1 0 1]*x <=7
% Putting together
% [ 1 1 -1 -1] [ 1 ]
% |-1 0 1 0| * x <=|10 ]
% [ 0 1 0 1] [ 7 ]
%
% Therefore, you can specify A and b as follows
A = [1 1 -1 -1; -1 0 1 0; 0 1 0 1];
b = [1; 10; 7];
