Matt,

That is an excellent suggestion. I just posted it to our internal enhancement tracking database. You can make such requests more reliably by e-mailing support@mathworks.com

Thanks,

David,

Actually, I tend to do a little bit of both. It is hard to say when I work at the command line and then script and when I write a script and just keep running it as you add to it.

Off topic, but David’s reply made me think about an enhancement I would like to see. Imagine scrolling up through the command history, either through the editor or by using the up arrow. When you came across a command that caused an error, it would be in red font. Boy that would make life simpler when looking through several similar commands, some of which didn’t work.

nice. just a thought:
rather than trying ideas in the command window, one idea is to do this using the editor in cell mode. that way, when you’ve figured out the right syntax, you almost have a finished script. this also saves scrolling through the command history for the correct version of each command which after trial-and-error often look similar to versions that don’t quite work

regards,
david
