Re: transposing comma problem

[Hamed Shakouri]

One more issue I figured out is that the same character (between the key ; and Enter) used in files edited with the previous version (OCTAVE 5) does not appear as it appears as a normal apostrophe; instead, it shows in a different shape, and when I try to get the character number (by abs('<character>') it causes the command window to hang (stops working).

Interesting is that when I try to run the lines including these apostrophes by F9 (Run the selection) from the file, it runs with no error. 

I realized that "sometimes" in my last email means when running the entire saved script/function.

Thank you for your fast reply.

Sorry, by "comma" I meant "apostrophe" that is used for transposing.

On my laptop, sometimes OCTAVE 6.2 Editor cannot detect this character correctly.

e.g. x = (1:10)';  used in a function is not read as is written and a syntax error appears.

 syntax error 

>>> x=(1:10);

                    ^

Also, it cannot be used to define a string variable. Seems that the character is not read at all!

e.g. legend({'Res', 'Comm'})  causes:

 syntax error

>>> legend({Res....

                    ^

 Thank you,

Hamed.

Hello Hamed,

Could you please be a little more specific what the exact problem is? Is
the comma hard to read? If yes, is this the case in the command widget
and/or in the editor? Does it help to select another font?
