I wanted to write e^(-1000|t|) in matlab title of a plot. When I entered this and ran it actually, it showed ( as a superscript and every thing else in the line in regular font. Now I wanted the whole thing -1000|t| to appear as a superscript. I tried bracketing etc and finally I achieved what I wanted by inserting ^ before every letter. Is there a better way?

The text in a title can be formatted using TeX or LaTeX markup, which means you need to group characters with curly brackets, not parentheses. Something like this:
title('e^{-1000|t|}')
which produces
The markup selection is named in the documentation as the Interpreter, and it clearly describes the three options (LaTeX, TeX, none). There is also an example showing how grouping is achieved (search for "Include Greek Symbols in Title"):
This is a very good introduction on how to write LaTeX expressions:
