I want to see function syntax hints even if I have a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis as shown below:

sin (

Best Answer

The ability to see function hints when there is a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis is not available in MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b). This is depicted in the two images below.

To work around this issue, avoid a whitespace between the function name and the parenthesis.

Further, this enhancement has been included in all the releases from MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a) as shown below.

The ability to insert ASCII characters between 128 and 255 into MATLAB is not available in MATLAB 6.5 (R13).

To work around this issue, it is necessary to set the $LANG environmental variable to specify an 8-bit character set. For example, use the following C shell command:

 setenv LANG c

This allows the use of ASCII characters between 128 and 255.

It does if you use the 'MultipleDelimsAsOne' option:

This is explained in the section "Treat Repeated Delimiters as One".

Although, given your example output, you probably want to use the 'EmptyValue' option, which is explained in the section "Specify Delimiter and Empty Value Conversion".
