File Exchange Pick of the Week

Mash-up with text message and password obscuring

One of the purposes of MATLAB Central is to encourage collaboration and code sharing in the MATLAB community. I was overjoyed when I was alerted to this new file on the Exchange. Basically, Robert was inspired by two recent Blog posts that obscure passwords in a GUI and that allow you to send yourself a text message.

As I say in the video, I like this code because it does add to what other people have made, and it is code that generates more code. I always get a kick out of that.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
