Well, I shouldn't be posting this, but here's the example from the M-file help of DOMYHOMEWORK: functionName = doMyHomework('A', urlread('http://www.someuniversity.edu/ma123/assignment1.html')) So it shouldn't cut down on students' valuable drinking time _too_ much. Hmm ... now that I think of it, I wonder if we were able to fix that "bug" where the desiredgrade parameter was always set to 'F' inside the function itself, ignoring the user's input? Oh well, if we didn't I'm sure we'll hear about it sooner or later :) -- Steve Lord slord(a)mathworks.com comp.soft-sys.matlab (CSSM) FAQ: http://matlabwiki.mathworks.com/MATLAB_FAQ

But still no new gui-building tools? Seriously, though, is there some custom that one never seriously discusses future matlab-versions on this forum? While some freewheeling humorous speculation (which I sort of asked for in my first post) is fun, is the future direction of Matlab of little interest to its users?

While some freewheeling humorous speculation (which I sort of asked for in my first post) is fun, is the future direction of Matlab of little interest to its users? I *was* serious. I am alone, I am not tall, I am not a native speaker, but I am here. For my business stability and reliability is much more important than new features. Even the old-fashioned GUI tools would not bother me, if they at least would not crash. As long as TMW cannot avoid bugs like e.g. the "A'\b" problem in 2009b, future features are more or less meaningless for me. I send bug reports and ideas for improvements to TMW. I publish these ideas in the FEX, if the developpers do not react for 6 month (and if this is no conflict with the license conditions). My bug report for ANCESTOR has been rejected at first, because I did not attach my license number - how funny! Kind regards, Jan

I haven't ever checked Mathwork's beta-test and pre-release licenses, but on every company I've tested for, beta and pre-release testers are under non-disclosure agreements. If I knew what was coming in 2010a (or any future release), I would not be allowed to tell you. I do test software for companies from time to time, but I only publicly talk about officially released versions. If I were the kind of person who broke non-disclosure agreements, I would not deserve my security clearance. |
