search text of matlab scripts in MATLAB mobile

I'm using matlab mobile on ipad and l would like to know if it's possible to search the text of long matlab scripts. Also it would be helpful for variables to be highlighted when the cursor is in the name of the variable. Makes it a lot easier to troubleshoot. I don't see these features in MATLAB mobile currently.

Hello Bader,

Unfortunately, MATLAB Mobile on iPad (and Android tablets) currently lacks built-in features for:

• Searching text within scripts
• Highlighting variable occurrences on cursor hover

Here are some alternative approaches you can consider while hoping for future updates to MATLAB Mobile:

1. If feasible, transfer your script to the desktop version of MATLAB. The desktop version excels in offering a robust search function within the script editor and variable highlighting capabilities. This provides a more efficient troubleshooting environment.
2. Open the script in a text editor app on your iPad that supports search functionality. While not as integrated as MATLAB's features, it can help locate specific text.

These workarounds can be helpful until a text search feature is integrated into MATLAB Mobile.
