wdisp: a pedestrian command window waitbar
Creates the equivalent of WAITBAR in the command window.
See:
help wdisp
for a self-explanatory example - or type:
t='-\|/';
for i=1:40
tl=wdisp( 0,sprintf('time %c %s',t(rem(i,4)+1),datestr(now)));
% do some computation(s)
tl=wdisp(tl,sprintf('count %3d %s',i,repmat('.',1,i)));
% do more computation(s)
pause(.1);
tl=wdisp(tl);
end

Hi,
I just thought of a small tweak in the code. By using the fprintf() function instead of disp(), it is possible to avoid the flickering of the command window when it already has a scrollbar (which is actually irritating).
Here the body of the modified function:
if ~nargin & ~nargout
help wdisp;
elseif nargin == 1
fprintf(repmat(char(8),1,par));
par=0;
elseif nargin == 2
fprintf(str);
par=par+length(str);
else
par=0;
end
And here a small example to use the modified version of wdisp():
t='-\|/';
tl=wdisp( 0,num2str(0));
for i=1:40
tl=wdisp(tl);
tl=wdisp(tl,sprintf('count %3d %s',i,repmat('.',1,i)));
pause(.1);
end
disp(' ');
Hope this helps someone :)

Mrs. Klaublauer, this program is working perfectly for the rest of the world! What you are experiencing is a problem of your operating system. Please refrain from rating submissions just because you are frustrated - and please, add a valid email address to your review so the author can get in touch with you.
Matlab R12 displays boxes for char(8) instead of doing a backspace, breaking this. I don't know of any solution.
