my scripts won't update.

Hi!
For some reason, my scripts get "stuck" and ignore changes. I can even see in the workspace that values won't change. For example, a graph that won't change even after changing some of the values (sometimes it will give me a few rounds and the stop, sometimes not even that).
Same goes with functions- I'll change the function, but when I'll use the new version I'll get the same result again, even when trying to apply it on another variable, and even after changing, saving, and restarting matlab- as if matlab will always relate only to the first version of the script (even though I have saved a different one) and I have only one chance to write the script correctly.
Thank you very much!

Are you sure that you edit the function which you run? Or do you have different versions of the function in different folders, and while you edit C:\YourData\theFile.m you run C:\Temp\yourFcn.m?
Check this by
which yourFcn -all
Maybe you use a folder inside the Matlab installation folder for working? This would be a bad idea, but at least the updates should be accepted after:
rehash toolbox

Never name your functions with the same name as existing tools in MATLAB. Bad idea to do that. :)
As well, never put your functions in the MATLAB provided directories. They won't reflect any changes, becaue those directories are cached when MATLAB starts up. Us your own directory for your code, then added to the MATLAB search path.
