MATLAB: Do certain hyperlinks in the help of the POLYVAL function results in “not found” errors in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

helphyperlinksMATLABpolyvalr14sp1

I use the following command to bring up the help on the POLYVAL function:

help polyval

The help document contains too many hyperlinks, and some of them (including "p", "x", "y", etc.) lead to "not found" errors. For example,

 x.m not found.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the MATLAB file help for the POLYVAL function.

This has been fixed in the next release.

MATLAB: Does the MKDIR function return an error when the second input argument ends with a backward slash in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2)

We have verified that there is a bug in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) that shows up when using the MKDIR function with the second input argument containing a backward slash at the end of the string. To work around this issue, use the following command instead:

mkdir('test','test')

MATLAB: Does printing from the Command Window fail in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and 7.0.1 (R14SP1)

This bug has been fixed in MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2). For previous releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) and 7.0.1 (R14SP1) in the way that the Command Window prints.

To work around this issue, add the CLC command to your startup.m file, by performing these steps:

1. Execute the following code at the MATLAB command prompt to determine if startup.m exists and open/ add startup.m:

if exist('startup')==2
      edit startup
elseif exist('startup')==0
      a = which('matlabrc');
      parts = fileparts(a);
      edit([parts, '\startup'])
end

2. After the last line of code, add:

clc

3. Save startup.m

4. Close and restart MATLAB

This will clear the Command Window during startup.
