Hey MatLab world,
I wrote a script that produces a table with a set of variable names. The variable name uses the bar/pipe character ' | ' (i.e. shift+backslash).
On my computer it all works fine and creates the table with these variable names. On anyone elses comptuer it throws an error saying, "X_|P| is not a valid table variable name."
Yes, I've read the matlab section on variable names, https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/variable-names.html and I know that it only mentions letters, digits and underscores. But on my computer it makes the table every time with all my variable names and absolutely zero errors. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. No toolboxes or packages being used. Matlab version is 2019b update 1. Code pasted below for reference.
% BEGIN CODE %
clear all; close all; clc;
% Create Table Variable Names
XCoeffs = {'X_star1', 'X_P', 'X_|P|', 'X_PP', 'X_P|P|', 'X_star2', 'X_Q', 'X_|Q|', 'X_QQ', 'X_Q|Q|', 'X_|Q|P', 'X_Q|P|', 'X_|QP|', 'X_QP'};
% Create table 'X' within structure 'Experiment.Data'
Experiment.Data.X = table(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 'VariableNames', XCoeffs);
% END CODE %
p.s. I do a check by typing "Experiment.Data.X.Properties.VariableNames" into the command prompt and it returns the same exact variable names defined above.
THANKS!!!!
