[Matlab-emacs-discuss] Character Counting

[Eric L. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi all,

There is a "mini-hack" contest going on over on MATLAB Central which you
can see here.

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/contests/20th-anniversary-matlab-minihack.html

The goal is to write a MATLAB script that is 280 chars or less that draws
something neat.

Attached find an Emacs script that works with the latest version of MATLAB
mode on git to display the number of characters in your mode-line.  Since
the contest isn't counting all characters, but instead all non-comment,
non-indent characters, this script attempts to do the same counting tricks
so you can develop your verbosely commented, and correctly indented code in
Emacs before pasting into the contest page.

And while your there, vote for my pumpkin script.  :)

Enjoy
Eric
