Matlab R12 displays boxes for char(8) instead of doing a backspace, breaking this. I don't know of any solution.

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.
