MATLAB: How to accept an answer in a comment

answersmeta

I submitted a question and someone answered correctly in a comment to my question. (Someone else answered in an answer, but that answer was not as directly useful as the answer that was in the comment.) Is there a way to accept an answer which is a comment to the question? Or, can I flag the comment to have an editor turn it into an answer which I can then accept?

An editor could move the comment to an answer, but it would appear under the editor’s name. Your best option is to ask the person who wrote the comment to copy it to an answer. If you wanted to alert the person who commented to ask them to do that, you could email through the person’s profile.
