Thread Subject: strncmpi help wrong matlab R2007a

Hi,
When I type "help strncmpi", it read as follows:
__________________________________________________________________
TF = STRNCMPI(S1,S2) compares the first N characters of strings S1 and S2 and returns logical 1 (true) if they are the same except for case, and returns logical 0 (false) otherwise.
__________________________________________________________________
I am wondering if there is a missing of N somewhere in the function parameter list?

That is correct, however if I am not wrong, it was corrected in 2007b or 2008a, the new mhelp reads now:

 STRNCMPI Compare first N characters of strings ignoring case.
    TF = STRNCMPI(S1,S2,N) performs a case-insensitive comparison between the
    first N characters of strings S1 and S2. The function returns logical 1
    (true) if they are the same except for letter case, and returns logical 0
    (false) otherwise.
