Its the 15th anniversary of MATLAB Central and it made me think about my contributions to the MATLAB community.
My first interaction was with the MATLAB Newsgroup. I wanted see when my first post was… read more >>
Today I’m just making a small modification to an existing script to store a variable with the saveValue function I developed a while ago. The variable is of type duration, part of the recently… read more >>
Sometimes when displaying the progress of a long running script, there is so much output at the command window that there is too much to scroll through or the buffer fills up and you can’t go… read more >>
This code-along video is the third in a series where I’m creating a MATLAB function to split a URL into component parts. Here I update another script to make use of this new function but it… read more >>
This code-along video is the second in a series where I’m creating a MATLAB function to split a URL into component parts. Here I add more tests, return more components, and add a parameter to… read more >>
I often need to break up a URL string into components such as protocol, hostname, file path, query parameters, etc. Here, I create a function to do this, similar to the fileparts function in… read more >>
On an existing post, a MATLAB user asked how to vertically concatenate a number of matrices taken from MAT-files. Here is a code-along of me working through a couple of options for this.

I often need to compare long lists of strings, usually URLs. If I have less than a few thousand, and the data is already in Excel, I will use the MATCH and INDEX functions in Excel to do this…. read more >>
When your MATLAB code encounters an error and you have “dbstop if error” enabled, the file in which the error occurs is opened in the editor (together with its calling files). When the… read more >>
Sometimes when I record a variable with the saveValue function, it is a mistake, or it was a test, or it was some outlier that I do not want to keep forever. In this case, the simple method of… read more >>
