Thread Subject: suppress warning messages

I can't find a way from the m-file editor to force matlab not to give me warning messages. semicolon doesn't do this.. is there a way ??

help warning

WARNING('OFF', 'MSGID') and WARNING('ON', 'MSGID') disable and enable the display of any warning tagged with message identifier MSGID. (Use LASTWARN to determine the identifier of a warning, or use the WARNING VERBOSE feature

Do you mean that you don't know how to suppress warnings that are thrown
when you run your code, or you don't know how to suppress M-Lint messages in
the Editor?

Dan has told you how to enable/disable warnings (although you shouldn't
blindly turn off warnings -- usually they're thrown for a reason.)

To suppress M-Lint messages, read this:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_env/brqxeeu-151.html#brqxeeu-167

But again, don't just blindly suppress M-Lint messages -- only suppress a
message if you understand what it means and why your code is causing it.

Thank you Dan,
I think I'm doing something wrong here:

Warning: Unable to interpret TeX string
> In title at 41
  In title at 23
>> LASTWARN
??? Undefined function or variable 'LASTWARN'.
>> WARNING ON VERBOSE
??? Undefined function or method 'WARNING' for input arguments of type 'char'.

so I can't find the message ID!

..
Thank you Steve for your concern. Yes I know what the warning is but because the line of code generating the warning is within a for loop, I'm getting the same message a million times and it's slowing my program.. yet I don't want to remove the code generating the warning because it's doing other important things and the warning can't be fixed on my version on matlab

Usually in the documentation and in the newsgroup, people write function
names in ALL CAPS simply to distinguish them from surrounding text. Use the
command "lastwarn" (without the quotes) or "warning on verbose" (also
without quotes.)

From the warning message, it looks like you're calling TITLE with a string
that appears to contain TeX code in it, but TITLE doesn't recognize the TeX
code.

Have you tried:

title('Invalid TeX c\ode', 'Interpreter', 'none')

Thank you everyone,

warning off MATLAB:tex;title(name(i));warning on MATLAB:tex;

worked.

But no, 'Interpreter','none' doesn't do the trick. It still thinks that name(i) is a TeX string since the y and x-axes are labeled using tex
