the command "clc" and "clear all" does not work on a script in the editor.

The commands "clc" and "clear all" don't work in my script, somentimes yes.

i have matlab 2011 a and b e 2012 a.

Click the cursor anywhere in command window then press "Ctlr+C" then use "clc" and "clear all" will work

[Steve da Silva Ferreira]

Hi, Artur, had a similar problem with clc and clear all not working. Realised, that I was in a for , or if statement, so, clc and clear won't work in there. Make sure, that you end those statements, which will return you back to the ( >>) section, you do not want to use clc and clear, where there are no >> ie. Just blank line.

Hope this helps 😁

Answer 1

[Gkhn Gny]

I have the same issue at some scripts, I dont know the reason.

But this is working in every case

evalin('base','clear')

[Steven Lord]

That suggests you've created a variable named clear. While there's a variable named clear in the workspace, you can't call the clear function without some indirect approach like that.

[Greg Heath]

They are not defined to work in the editor.

They work on the command line and when the corresponding script or function is executed

I found that putting too many comments before or after the command "clc" and "clear all" in the script, they do not work.

It happens to someone?

[Mark Hayworth]

Well they certainly won't work if the comments are before it on the same line. Otherwise post your code so we can try to replicate your problem.

[Artur M. G. Lourenço]

Is very simple, 18 lines of comments on top of "clc and clear all", or under, they don't work

[Jan]

So you assume that Matlab has a magic limit of 18 comment lines, which influences the ability of some commands to work? After working with Matlab and participating in some Matlab forums for so many years now, I've never seen or heard of another magic behavior. Therefore I'm convinced, that either your test, if "clear all" has worked, is wrong, or there is another problem e.g. you have defined a variable called 'all'. Then clear all clears this variable only. But this will not and no circumstances depend on the number of comment lines surrounding the command.

Please post the relevant part of your code.

[Image Analyst]

I can't reproduce. It works fine for me.

[Artur M. G. Lourenço]

Hi guys I do not know why, but I found that when placed at the beginning of a script "clear all" and "clc" using the ANN toolbox (Neural) occurred a bug and the variables in my workspace were not clean, the problem was this. I now use the 2013 and all is well! Thank you all!

Answer 4

[Walter Roberson]

Exactly what is it that you think that "clc" and "clear all" do ?

If someone is requiring that you put in clc and "clear all", such as if you will fail an assignment if you do not put them in, then just go ahead and put in and do not worry about what they do or do not do under any particular circumstances. If someone requires that you put them in, then that person is taking responsibility for any program failure that might result.

If no-one is requiring that you put in clc and "clear all", then eliminate any problems with them by simply not putting them in.

[Vishnu Keyen]

Something like this I want

for i = 1:10
    fprintf('iterantion %d --> %1.3f\n',i,randn(1));
    pause(1);
    clc
end

iterantion 1 --> -0.687
iterantion 2 --> -0.603
iterantion 3 --> -0.800
iterantion 4 --> -0.001
iterantion 5 --> -0.662
iterantion 6 --> -1.583
iterantion 7 --> 1.089
iterantion 8 --> 1.939
iterantion 9 --> 0.490
iterantion 10 --> -1.094

I want to delete the previous display of number and then display the new number only.

But this runs without clearing, so i get 10 lines of printed output, I just want 1

@Vishnu Keyen This is a question, not a comment to an answer. Have a read here and here. It will greatly improve your chances of getting an answer.

You have two options:

1. Use clc (which doesn't work as expected in the web environment, as you can see).
2. Count the number of characters you printed and print as many backspace characters.

Answer 5

[Artur M. G. Lourenço]

I was misunderstood in my question or did poorly.

[Walter Roberson]

I don't think you were misunderstood, but we are having difficulty believing it. Unless, that is, you had the "clear all" within a script that was being invoked from something else: if that is what is happening then it wouldn't surprise us at all that you had the problem.

[Greg Heath]

HEY!

Why are you using the answer box for your questions and comments?

Just so you can accept your own question as the correct answer?

Since my answer was the first correct one, YOU OWE ME!

Greg

[Artur M. G. Lourenço]

sorry I just took to finish the discussion. How do I undo and accept your answer? However niguém answered the question, it was just a bug in matlab. You will not find more accurate erase that doubt?

[Jan]

@Eng_Amb: Who is niguem? I do not see the anything in this thread, which implies a Matlab bug. Your problem has not become clear to me yet and the opinion, that there is a connection to the number of comments before and after the the command is obviously wrong.

[Artur M. G. Lourenço]

sorry "ninguem" is anybody. So I will try to explain as best as possible. When I write a code in the editor I put "Clear all" and "clc" to clear the variables in the workspace and something written in the command window. When put many comments in my code, simply "Clear all" and "clc" did not work. I do not know why. I used the ANN toolbox. I used the 2012 version, but now I have to 2013 and everything is working normally. I will give you my code for you to open and test if you have matlab 2012.

Is solved now, thank you all for the help.
