Thanks for your help. The getversion works. Stuart responded to my email so I can now communicate with him directly. I’d like to get his script working for my version of matlab. He gave me some code to fix the problem for 7.1. Thanks for your protocol instruction.

Rick, it looks like you are using Tim Davis' getversion. To get a copy of verLessThan() for older MATLAB versions please see solution 1-38LI61 on the Tech Support web site. Also note that Stuart's textscantool requires R2007a (MATLAB 7.4). In general, suggestions for a particular submission should be made in comments to that submission. That way the author gets notified and your chances of getting a response are greatly improved. :)

I’m a novice at Matlab scripts but this textscantool works
fine for our current needs.

I just got textscantool to work on a project at work. I had to change the ‘verlessthan’ to use the ‘getversion’ instead since 7.1 doesn’t recognize verlessthan or I don’t have this script in the .m folders. I copied the ‘getversion’ from your website, I think, and then modified the code to be the following instead:

matver = getversion;
if (matver < 7.6) % Before 8a

I’d like to fine tune the procedure more. I think there may be version compatability issues that would be good to resolve.

One issue is with the following line:
com.mathworks.mlservices.MLEditorServices.newDocument(str,true);

evidently, version 7.1 does not have this newDocument capability. Every time the generate code is launched an error regarding this newDocument is encountered.

The other is not a problem just a desire. It would be helpful if the browse window was able to navigate to the same server location each time.
