I often write user interfaces that require user to input
analytical functions into edit boxes.
But I haven't found a MATLAB function specificially designed
to handle the scenario.
I tried different ways to acoomplish this:
1. I tried the subs function from symbolic math toolbox -
it's roubust, but is veeeery slow ((
2. Now I use eval. But it requires users to input
expressions using non-matrix operators like .+ .* etc.
Moreover, eval is not robust at all: users are able to
execute almost any MATLAB command inside my UI. Yet, eval is
not as fast as I want.
Any suggestions?
TIA

could you use inline?

Also, you might find the "vectorize" function helpful. It will take a
string or inline function and convert operations like "*" into ".*".

Thank you very much! Wonder, why I haven't heard anything
about the "inline" func ((
